The Fleet runs weekly, half-day and full-day summer camps in 2015 from June 15 to August 21. The camps are designed to be fun, educational, hands-on and incorporate the Fleet’s exhibit galleries. Camps are listed below by grade level and full descriptions can be found online.

To make summer as great as possible, many Balboa Park institutions—including the Fleet—coordinate their half-day summer camps so kids can spend a full day in the park. This means that a child can be dropped off at a morning camp at the Fleet and picked up from an afternoon camp at a different venue. Or, participate in the Fleet’s full-day discounted pricing!

Half-Day PricesMembers $130 per weekly camp Nonmembers $145 per weekly camp
