Academic About Academic Camps Academic

Create the perfect balance of academics and fun for your child by selecting a morning academic camp and adding an afternoon art, swimming or sports camp. Our popular academic camps are a great way to review, maintain and enhance skills introduced in the previous school year. At Summer at Barstow, you can select our six-week morning camp for your child in grades 1–5 or our four-week morning camp for your child in grades 6–8. We offer three levels of academic camps for grades 1–4 and two levels of academic camps for grades 5–8.
