Camp Wild Heart

is Chico's premier STEAM *Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math* summer day camp

for ages 5 to 11!

If your child turns 5 in June or 12 any time during camp they may still attend this summer.

We provide a truly child-led environment where kids get to choose their activities and there is plenty of time for free and natural play.

We are very proud of our phenomenal team. Many are parents also and have years of experience working with kids in academic and enrichment settings.

Camp is from Monday to Thursday 

from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm

No camp on Fridays

Summer 2026 is Monday, June 8th to Wednesday, August 12th

to match Chico Unified's summer dates

Chico's ONLY Drop In Summer Day Camp

Simply choose a number of days to purchase.

Arrive any day we are open between 9:30 and 10:30am and we will count that day towards the days you purchased.

You can always add more days throughout the summer.

Days purchased do not need to be used consecutively, nor do you need to let us know ahead of time.

Makes for the perfect flexible summer schedule!

Days must be used the summer purchased, they do not roll over or get refunded. 

We sell out of spaces every year but once you are in we hold your space all summer so you can add days as desired
