Geek Week

Geek Week is a specialty session that focuses more on the popular creative-based activities rather than the science activities that the one-week summer camps have. It’s a blend of sci-fi and fantasy activities with a STEM camp experience, but STEM is not the primary focus of the program.

However, there will still be some science-based exposure, like our Super Science Night and Space Night opportunities.

Geek Week also allows for more camper-directed activities as they will give their preferences for the four core activities prior to camp.

We request that you call your child only in the case of an emergency at 951.659.6062. We strongly believe in the benefits of campers and parents disconnecting from each other, other than letters. Incoming parent phone calls can be a challenge because campers are busy in the program from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Campers are only allowed to call home with the knowledge and consent of the Summer Camp Director.

At every meal, in addition to the main entrée served, campers have the following “other options”:

Breakfast: cold cereal, fruit, yogurt, toast, and bagels.
Lunch: peanut butter & jelly, deli meat, soup selection, and salad bar.
Dinner: salad bar

AstroCamp is located within the mountains of Southern California on an expansive 100-acre state-of-the-art facility. Therefore, the weather is subject to change quickly due to the elevation.

The temperature can reach the upper 70s during the day while dropping to cooler temperatures in the evening, so please ensure that your camper packs appropriately.

Follow our One Week Camper Packing List to make sure your camper is prepared for a one-week stay at AstroCamp!

We have a medical professional on-site for summer programs, and all medications are stored and administered at the Health Center by our camp nurse. Our staff is certified in first aid, CPR for the Professional Rescuer, and Lifeguarding.

In case of serious issues, we can contact local paramedics, who typically arrive within 6-10 minutes, to arrange transport to a nearby clinic or hospital.

AstroCamp does offer financial assistance opportunities for the overnight summer camp programs.

All applications must be received by AstroCamp prior to April 1st for the year of the camp you’re interested in enrolling for.

Please contact the AstroCamp Registrar for an application and more information.
