Every kid has something they’re meant to discover at Pali
Specialties give campers the chance to go deeper into something they love or try something completely new. Each week, they choose one focus and spend three hours every morning building real skills with expert instructors. Choose a new Specialty each session and discover what’s next.
Adventure
For kids who learn best by moving, pushing limits, and taking healthy risks. These tracks challenge campers physically while teaching focus, persistence, and self-trust. Progress is earned through effort and practice, and accomplishments feel real because they are.
Performance
For kids who thrive when given a stage. These tracks build confidence, presence, and the ability to be seen. Campers leave with a new comfort in front of an audience and the experience of putting real work out into the world.
Creative
For kids who want space to explore ideas, take creative risks, and come home with something they made themselves. These tracks turn imagination into a finished product campers are proud to show off.

What families say
Families who have already sent their kids
My children have been attending Pali every summer since 2009 and we have never missed a year! Visiting Pali is one of their favorite experiences each and every summer. They have a welcoming place to express themselves, explore their creativity, support one other, strengthen their self-esteem and confidence while working through obstacles and making lifelong friends. Highly recommend!
This camp does it right! This was our first time and we will definitely send our daughter again. Pali Adventures is super organized, from transportation, checking in, meal time and plenty of fun time! They have very good communication. My daughter came home saying they had the best time of her life!
Wow! Camp Pali was TREMENDOUS! Our son just returned and would gladly go back for another week. He’s already had us promise to sign him up for next year. The number of activities they offer is astounding. I highly, highly recommend Camp Pali!!!”
Common questions
Is Pali Day Camp ELO-P eligible?
Yes. Pali Day Camp is structured to run inside an ELO-P allocation for TK-6 and older students, with weekly enrollment districts can align to their available funding.
Does ELO-P funding cover overnight camp?
Yes, when scheduled during intersession – non-instructional days – rather than instructional days. Pali Adventures Overnight Camp is built around this intersession structure.
Which program fits our ELO-P allocation better – day camp or overnight camp?
Day Camp works for districts running a full summer of expanded learning without an overnight component, or where transportation logistics favor same-day busing. Overnight Camp fits a concentrated intersession block and includes lodging and meals in the per-student rate.
What’s the difference between the 7-day/6-night and 4-day/3-night overnight options?
Both run on the same campus, weekly theme, and specialty-track model. The 4-day/3-night session is a shorter commitment, useful for districts with a smaller intersession window or a lighter ELO-P allocation. The 7-day/6-night session is the full weeklong experience.
What training does your staff have?
Staff are trained in First Aid, CPR, emergency response, and camper emotional wellbeing, including homesickness support, from day one.
Can students enroll for partial weeks?
Yes! Day Camp enrollment is available by the week, so districts can align enrollment to available ELO-P funding rather than committing to the full 9-week season.
What ages does each program serve?
Day Camp serves ages 5-16 (TK-6th+) across six age-based groups. The 7-day/6-night Overnight Camp serves ages 8-16, with Junior (8-12) and Senior (13-16) groupings. The 4-day/3-night option serves ages 6-16, with ages 6-8 attending Mini Camp – let us know your target grade levels and we’ll confirm session fit.
What do you need from us to reserve a cohort?
Estimated cohort size and grade band, preferred weeks for Summer 2027, and a point of contact for scheduling and transportation coordination.
