2024-25 Day Off Camps

Your child will love spending their day off from school with Irvine’s educators for a day of exploration and outdoor activity. Our young environmental stewards will be inspired to explore nature as they are led through a day filled with animal encounters, science experiments, hiking, nature crafts, and more.
