Summer Program

For current 1st through 9th grade Wildwood students and incoming 2nd through 10th grade students.

The four-week elementary summer theater program and middle summer theater program will happen concurrently, with three casts (2 elementary; 1 middle) performing the award-winning and beloved Disney musical, The Lion King! The program runs from June 21-July 17 (including a Saturday, July 17 performance and set strike). The entire camp day will take place in our outdoor spaces at the elementary campus, culminating in performances on an outdoor stage, Hollywood Bowl style! Campers may enroll in one of the tracks below:
 

• Performance Track
  For incoming Wildwood 2nd-8th graders (current 1st-7th graders)
  The Performance Track is for all campers who wish to perform in the production.
   

• Design Track
  For incoming Wildwood 2nd-8th graders (current 1st-7th graders)
  The Design Track is for campers who do not want to perform in the production. The Design campers will be exposed to many different behind-the-scenes opportunities that help create an incredible show!
   

• Counselor-In-Training (CIT) Track
  For incoming Wildwood 9th and 10th graders (current 8th and 9th graders)
  Under the supervision of our experienced staff, each CIT assists campers with camp activities, helps with organizing materials and supplies, and acts as a positive role model for younger campers. All CITs will be very involved with the production process and will be placed in a rotation that suits their interests and talents. Two pre-camp training sessions will be required the week of June 14.

For current kindergarten through 5th grade Wildwood students and incoming 1st through 6th grade Wildwood students. Activities will be age appropriate and groups will be divided by grades (K-2nd grade) and (3rd-6th grades).

Come and explore a new adventure every day with your friends! Campers will begin at the elementary campus and board a bus that will whisk them off, safely, to a fun destination, such as the tide pools at Leo Carrillo, hikes and fishing at Kenneth Hahn Park, lacrosse at the beach, Underwood Family Farms, the Science Museum, and Mulligan's for go-kart racing, mini golf, and batting cages, and more. More details on where the adventures will lead to come! Just added—current Wildwood 5th graders can now join Adventure Week!

• Week 2 – July 6-9 (shorter week as July 5 is a holiday)

For Wildwood students entering kindergarten only.

The Pea Pods Program is a non-mandatory introductory program meant to create a feeling of comfort and familiarity within the Wildwood community prior to kindergarten enrollment in the fall. While it will resemble school life, the priority is fun. It's summer, after all! The program is run by Wildwood teachers, alumni, interns, and counselors. The week culminates in an exciting afternoon of water-play and special activities. Students may sign up for as little as one week, or as many as four, depending on interest and availability.
