Urban Adventure Camps is a week-long summer day camp for children ages 8–15 that explores the Bay Area through daily field trips to museums, attractions, and activities, teaching kids to navigate public transportation safely. Founded in 2011, camp runs 8am–4pm with groups meeting at Rockridge BART in Oakland, and each week follows a theme such as science, cooking, history, or art. Museum fees, transit costs, instruction, and two daily snacks are included.

★★★★★Tarquin AlwattarThis camp is my kids’ favorite each summer! They’re actually excited about each day!! The programming is fun and interesting. It offers such stimulating days to the kids! And the director Mike is thoughtful and organized. It feels like the kids are very well cared for.
★★★★★Rebecca KuceraThis is a great camp for pre teens/teens. My son loved the different daily adventures. The councilors were friendly and great at getting the kids to interact. They went all around the bay area on public transit, which is a great way to learn how to get around as kids get older and more independent.
★★★★★Tamiko BThis was, by far, my son's favorite summer camp experience. He loved taking public transportation to all parts of the Bay Area to learn new things. We will be back next year. 10/10
★★★★★heather hay watsonThis is our son's 3rd year of doing different Urban Adventure Camps and he has loved every one! This year we recruited some friends to go along and they loved it too. So fun for the kids to explore different local areas, and so convenient for commuting parents too! We plan to do it until we age out of it!
★★★★★Laura PresnellMy kids love this camp!! They visit interesting locations, get to explore the bay area and learn how to use public transportation. The camp is well organized and you can follow what the kids are up to during the day on twitter. In addition, the counselors are exceptional and always one of the highlights!
