Summer Camp Registration
The City of San Bruno Recreation Division is proud to welcome campers to enjoy a week or an entire summer of fun in a beautiful environment. Sending a child to a summer day camp program is a tremendous act of faith by parents. We take that responsibility very seriously, and maintain an environment that encourages safety and health. During the summer day camp program, our participants learn new things, build character, challenge themselves at new activities, make new friends, and create life-long memories. Our Recreation Leaders guide the campers through activities such as swimming, hiking, arts & crafts, sports, games, cooking projects, special events, field trips, and more!

Community Room
Paws for Tales is the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA's (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) reading to dogs program where therapy dogs and their handlers work with children (ages 5 and up) in library and school settings. Studies show that children who are reluctant to read in front of peers because of their skills are much less anxious with an animal present. Dogs offer unconditional love: they are not intimidating or judgmental. They are the perfect reading companion. Just drop in!
