Animal Camps
RCHS has a whole line-up of camps to excite and educate children. Camps are held during spring and summer school breaks and are age appropriate for children 6-15 years old. Camps run in themed, week-long sessions and are conducted by trained Rancho Coastal educators. Using hands-on games, activities, arts and crafts, guest speakers and of course live animals, children are taught about animals and their importance in our world.
