About
Camp Elings offers week-long summer camps that include Outdoor Adventure, Tennis, Mountain Bike, BMX, Counselor in Training (CIT), and Nerf Camp. Kids and teens can take part in these specific activities during the camp sessions. Teens can also participate as Counselors-in-Training and receive Community Service Hours.

• Schedule: Week-long summer camps
• Price: Cost is $10 per participant for OPEN TRACK every Sunday from 10 AM to 12 PM.
Camp Elings is part of a program that has included Mini Horses visiting Elings Park. Campership recipients can participate in one week of Camp Elings. Scholarships are available through Campership Alliance, which is sponsored by the Santa Barbara Police Activities League (PAL) for children and youth from low-income families residing in Goleta, Santa Barbara, and Carpinteria. All riders in BMX activities must have a valid USA BMX membership.
More than 40 years ago, the founders of Elings Park had a vision for this site, and the park is now operated by the nonprofit Elings Park Foundation. Elings Park is not operated by the city or county and is sustained through public support, receiving no government funds for upkeep or improvements. At 230 acres, it is described as the largest community-supported non-profit public park in America and provides year-round outdoor recreation for more than 200,000 visitors annually. All dogs inside Elings Park must have an EPDOG membership.
The organization’s mission statement is that Elings Park makes Santa Barbara happier, healthier, smarter, and more inspired through recreation, the arts and nature. The leadership team includes David Velazquez, Director of Operations; Marinella Baker, Director of Development; Denise Souza, Director of Programs & Events; Justin Bart, Operations Manager; and Marni Cheverez, Administrator & Board Liaison.
