THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH OUR NEW SYSTEM!
COVID UPDATE:
Dear Parents, we recognize that parenting has never held such challenging decision making as during the covid-19 pandemic. Our programs are being offered in good faith as a much needed outlet for children to get outside, socialize and be kids. All our efforts will be put into making this a safe and fun experience, and with your help we will be monitoring everyone’s health daily. Nothing we do can eliminate all of the risks to our families or staff, and that is a heavy responsibility we all bear together with love. Ventura Wild staff are all fully vaccinated, but will continue to model mask wearing when unable to physically distance. Parents must wear a mask at pick-up and drop-off. Ventura Wild programs are supportive of campers or staff who choose to wear a mask at any time.
CDC COVID guidelines update: “In general, people do not need to wear masks when outdoors. However, people who are not fully vaccinated are encouraged to wear a mask in crowded outdoor settings or during activities that involve sustained close contact with other people who are not fully vaccinated.”
NOTE: We have been a COVID-free program so far! Help us by Pre Screening at home before each class, and limiting contact in the community per CDC guidelines is a CRUCIAL part of our successful continued operation. Don’t bring your child to class with any symptoms or if ANYONE your family comes into contact with has symptoms. Please help us take care of all the children and Ventura Wild families and staff. Thank you!

Please only register for a max. of 3 program waitlists. Make sure to only register for a program that fits for your schedule and your child meets the age criteria. Thank you!
WE HOPE TO ADD MORE PROGRAMS SOON (for fall)! It saddens us that we can’t offer more programs at this time, we wish we had more offerings for more ages in more locations. We are currently seeking qualified instructors to fulfill this need. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
