A Taste of Summer Activities in Belmont

has many fun and exciting activities to make this a great summer for your kids.

Summer day camps, including Young Explorers for ages 4-6 years olds, Twin Pines Day Camp for 7-10 year olds, and the Ralston RAMS Middle School Camp, are back this summer with new themes, field trips and fun.

We’re excited about some of our new sports camps as well; Skyhawks is offering Capture the Flag Camp, turning the popular game into a full week camp with many variations, as well as Lacrosse camp.

And Challenger Sports is bringing their new British Multi-Sport and Cricket Camps to Belmont for the first time.

If you’re more interested in dance, our Heartbeat Dance Academy has three new camps this summer; Future Stars, Musical Theatre and Fun & Fit, in addition to some of the past favorites. Most camps will have a performance at the end of the week.

For those who want to try robotics, we are partnering with local business Wizbots in Belmont to bring the Robotics Inventor camp for ages 7 – 10 and Rube Goldberg – The Simply Complicated Machine for ages 10 – 15.

If you enjoy animation, Freshi Animation camps are for you. This year they are offering week-long camps in Digital Filmmaking and Stop Motion Animation.

Also new this year, cook Mexican and Italian food at the Ethnic Cooking camp at Beli Deli.

For the aspiring actors and actresses, the popular theatre camps Mugglebee’s Musical Theatre and the San Carlos Children’s Theatre Drama Camp are back.
