Summer 2026 brings another Summer of S.T.E.A.M. at DaVinci Academy! We're exploring Space with age-appropriate activities, trips, experiments, and excursions at every level.

Our youngest campers (K-1st grade) will be discovering nature this summer with weekly science topics supplemented with day trips to the zoo, marine center, California Academy of Science, farm, tidepools, aquarium and county parks where they can spot wildlife and learn about nature firsthand. In sports, they'll learn basic skills in soccer and enjoy water play every week.

2nd-3rd graders will take a deeper look at ecosystems, wildlife and marine science with trips to the beach, a ferry ride on the Bay, local aquariums, zoo, ranch, farm, marine sanctuary, tide pools and marine center. They'll also enjoy a local camping trip and a special overnight adventure at the Aquarium of the Bay. Soccer Camp includes games throughout the summer and culminates in a final match!

4th-8th graders can count on a busy summer at DaVinci! We'll kick off our outdoor adventure with three days camping, fishing, outdoor cooking, hiking, swimming and more at a nearby lake site. After (literally!) getting our feet wet, our next adventure will find us heading south to Morro Bay for a fantastic beach adventure at a beautiful campsite, with all that the coast has to offer.

Throughout the summer, sports, field games and swimming keep everyone fit and active, while morning academics offer a time to explore new subjects or get help in an area of difficulty. Day trips to the beach, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, water parks and more offer tons of fun. Summer activities include technology, junior engineering, photography, Maker Studio and more. There's something for everyone!

Summer at DaVinci is also a perfect opportunity for international students to naturally build their English skills while having a great time and making new friends.
