California State University, Northridge will offer a series of youth enrichment programs and camps to keep students in elementary, middle and high school busy all summer long.
Registration is currently open for the University Student Union’s Sunny Days Camp, which is offered to students in grades K–7 from June 10 through Aug. 9. Sunny Days Camp provides nine weekly sessions, either half- or full-day programs, where campers can participate in sports, games, arts and crafts, rock climbing, swimming and field trips.
Each one-week session is $215 per camper. An early bird discount is available now until March 15, which offers the public a discounted price of $200 per weekly session. For CSUN faculty, staff and students, a registration discount of $10 off per weekly session begins March 16 and ends April 30.
“This year we are able to use the artificial field and will be able to offer baseball and softball,” said Brenda Cruz, associate director of the Sunny Days Camp. “There are even new field trips this year. We recommend parents sign up as soon as possible because spots are filling up.”
For students ages 12 to 14, the camp also offers a Skills of Leadership program for an additional $25, and a Junior Counselor Program for high school students aged 15 to 18 years old. Both programs provide leadership development and communication skills. All full-day fees are due by Tuesday, April 30.
