SNAKE Campers have fun learning about science and nature! Daily schedules will include engaging activities, exciting field trips, crafts, games, swimming, snacks and plenty of time for free play and meeting new friends.

SNAKE Camp is back in 2012 with a new home base, 4 exciting new themes, and all the things you already love about SNAKE Camp!  Our new home base, Barron Park Elementary School, is a wonderful venue tucked into the oaks on the west side of Palo Alto, and it's a quick 2-minute walk to Bol Park, a lovely park with a creek, grassy areas, a play structure, wild areas to play in and lots of trees to climb.  We'll be spending a lot of time at Bol Park!
