Winter Break Camp Guide: Dates, Programs & What to Know (2026)

When Is Winter Break Camp?

Camp Wildfolk's Winter Break Camp runs across three weeks this year: December 21–24, 2026 (no camp Friday, 12/25), December 28–31, 2026 (no camp Friday, 1/1/27), and January 4–8, 2027. Families can register for one week or all three.

Where Does It Take Place?

Winter Break Camp is held at Wildfolk East Valley, hosted at Adat Ari El, 12020 Burbank Blvd., Valley Village, CA 91607.

What Programs Are Offered?

• Young Folks- our Pre-K–Kindergarten program

• Wildfolk Free-Range (1st–5th grade) - campers rotate through Activity Hubs like Crafty, Robotics, Games & Sports, and Drama

• Film Makers Camp

• Fiber + Felt Makers

• Guide-in-Training (G.I.T.) - a leadership program for 7th–11th graders

Regular hours are drop-off 9:00–9:30am and pick-up 2:30–3:00pm.

What About Food?

Our East Valley campus is Kosher, so all food — packed or purchased — must be vegetarian (no meat or shellfish; dairy and non-shellfish fish are fine), and no peanuts. Snack Bar and Kosher Lunch service can be pre-ordered through the Family Portal.

How Much Does It Cost?

Registration carries a $40 non-refundable fee per camper ($50 for late registration starting December 1st). Full payment is due by December 1st, with installment plans available for early registration. Each program has its own rate and is outlined on the Camp Rates page on the website. Optional Camp Protection Plans start at $75/session for added flexibility if plans change.

What About Before- and After-Care?

Wildbunch pricing depends on the week: during the Free-Range weeks (12/21 and 12/28), AM care is $40 and full PM is $60; during the Monday–Friday week of 1/4–1/8, AM care is $50 and full PM is $100. Single-day drop-in rates are also available.
