Aftercare is $150 per week (Monday through Friday). There is no cost for CITs who need aftercare. 

The camp fee includes one camp T-shirt (one for each week your child is registered for) and a Magic Key. The aftercare fee includes two snack items per day and choices of activities. 

Additional shirts are available for $12 each.

To allow campers a better experience, we do not allow one week registrations for our two week sessions such as Theatre Camp and Stop Motion Camp. Our two-week sessions are a specialized curriculum, and gives campers more time to develop friendship with their peers and counselors. We offer multiple one week options within our Thematic Camps.

Camp hours are 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Arrival is 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., and pick-up is 3:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. Aftercare is from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. (Registration is required for aftercare.) 

Campers signed in to aftercare can be picked up anytime between 3:45 and 5:30 p.m.

A late fee of $1 per minute will be applied if a child not registered in aftercare is not picked up by 3:45 p.m. The late fee applies to each minute and after 5:30 p.m. for children in aftercare.

• Our focus is storytelling with emphasis on imagination and social-emotional development.
• Highly experienced, fun, and compassionate staff members.
• Children learn to collaborate with peers, improve confidence, and be playful through improvisation.
• Children use creativity while engaged in hands-on activities to explore each theme. They use teamwork to create and perform amazing plays at the end of each week – boosting confidence!
• Opportunities to go behind the scenes with Fairyland’s puppet theater, gardens, and gentle animals.
• Lots of park exploration time for the campers to do everything they love at Fairyland.  

Our Friday skit challenges and chant-offs are created by the campers in each camp. We start with the theme and use our imaginations and teamwork to put on a short 3 to 5-minute skit. Skits are a way for campers to develop their confidence, find their voices, and add a theatrical element. These skits and chant-offs are built in as camp activities as a part of the curriculum, and will be performed to the campers, CITs, and counselors only, and will not be recorded and shared with families, as it is not meant to represent a full production.

We will offer in-person viewing for Theatre Camp  families only on the following Fridays:

June 12 for Theatre Camp 1
June 26 for Theatre Camp 2
July 10 for Theatre Camp 3
July 24 for Theatre Camp 4

All camp staff are trained in conflict resolution and are committed to helping children resolve their differences with words. We consciously work to create a caring community of adults and children who treat each other with respect and are ready to make new friends. Taking turns, cooperation, sharing, and being a good sport are continuously reinforced, and we take time at the end of each week for the children to share their appreciation for each other.

Keeping campers safe and healthy is our top priority. As we work diligently to update our operations plan, we are taking the following preventive measures, including what you can do at home.

During Camp:

• Make sure your campers arrive healthy, hydrated and well rested.
• Staff will make sure that campers are practicing good hand hygiene habits and respiratory etiquette.
• Masking is recommended only for individuals who are experiencing cold and flu-like symptoms.

​What you can do at home to prevent the spread of communicable diseases:

• Screen your child’s temperatures at home if they developed any cold and flu-like symptoms. For temperatures over 100.4°F, please stay home until 24 hours have passed and they no longer have a fever.
• If you travel by airplane before your camp session starts, we recommend that you use an at-home kit three days after your return to test for COVID-19. 
• Help your campers establish good hygiene.
• Consult your health provider if you have any concerns. 

What will Fairyland do to prevent the spread of communicable diseases:

• We will provide our camp staff training on health and safety procedures.
• Establish PPE (personal protection equipment) protocols and health screening as required.
• Stay current with any new guidance issued by the Alameda County Public Health Department and CDC.
• Continue to update you on camp guidelines, should there be changes.
