OC KidsOutAndAbout Summer Camp Newsletter April 13, 2026 |
Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:
Here at KidsOutAndAbout.com, we love promoting summer camps as a way for kids to learn, expand their friendship circles, and have fun without the pressure of grades or consequences. Local summer camps have pulled out all the stops to ensure your kids have a great time.
After getting inspired by the camp descriptions below with programs for preschoolers through teens, head over to
our Week by Week Guide to Summer Camps and what's been posted so far for 2026. Bookmark that main portal page to get where you need to go quickly to search by date or subject. New camps are being added constantly, so check back frequently. I hope you enjoy our special-edition camp
newsletter, and that you forward it to your friends who may also be shopping for summer camps. We'll be back with your regularly-scheduled weekly newsletter on Thursday!

Camp Pinniped at Pacific Marine Mammal Center is a unique experience allows children to witness a marine mammal hospital in action! Campers learn the art of marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation as they observe our animal care team in action. Campers make meals for our patients and then engage in a series of mock activities that teach them how to handle rescue equipment, admit a patient into the hospital, prepare fish smoothies and feed them to ‘plush’ patients, and discover the importance of animal autopsies in research by ‘dissecting’ plush patients. Each day has a different theme which includes ocean conservation and stewardship in order to provide a well-rounded study of the marine environment. Each theme is creatively reinforced through games, arts and crafts. Campers go home empowered with actions they can take in daily life to protect the ocean. Each year we add new content so campers who return keep on learning!
