Academic Talent Development Program

At this camp, students who are already enrolled in the UC Graduate School of Education’s Academic Talent Development Program (ATDP) spend a portion of their day participating in sports and recreational activities.

About This Camp

The curriculum of each activity is developed specifically for ATDP students and geared toward nurturing the fundamental skills necessary for each activity through fun, experiential learning.

Ages & Eligibility

Campers must be entering grades 1-7 in order to register for this camp. ATDP camp is open only to those who have secured a spot with the ATDP Academic Program. Visit the ATDP website for more info on how to be part of the program. Once the ATDP Academic Program sends you an acceptance letter with specific class times, you will be eligible to register for our sports program. We do not open registration for this program until the ATDP Academic Program starts to send out their acceptance letters, normally in late April.

Adventures is happy to offer afternoon extended care for all ATDP students from 4:30pm to 5:30pm, including Wednesdays.

Students who remain with teachers or staff by dismissal at 4:30pm will be brought to join extended care at the daily rate. For this reason, contact information for ATDP families will be shared with Cal Adventures staff if necessary.
