About the provider

Kidizens says it has been running summer camps successfully over the past 10 years in the SF Bay Area. It says its mission is to inspire children to develop 21st century real-life skills so they can become good citizens, civically engaged, and responsible future leaders.

All camp and class participants must be at least 6 years old to participate, with some exceptions for children aged 5 years and 9 months who are attending with a sibling. Camps are grouped in pairs of 2-3 based on age. After care from 3 to 5pm is offered during most camp sessions. Only authorized adults listed during registration may pick up a child.

What families say

“My son started when he was 5 with kidizens and is now 10 and still loves coming to kidizens. This is a wonderful place for kids to not just be purposeful and creative builders, but to also understand what good citizens are and learn and develop leadership skills early on in their lives.” — Stefi G

“We LOVE Kidizens! My son asks me all week if it's a Kidizens day. I love how much he is learning, how cities work, how voting works, how to work together to come up with solutions...it's been a fabulous experience and I would highly recommend it.” — Allison

“My son’s favorite afterschool activity hands down has been Kidizens. He started at Kidizens in their last LEGO summer camp, which he loved and has finished his Fall class. He loves and thrives on the interaction, the planning, discussions, and LEGO building.” — Bronwyn M
