The Santa Barbara Family Vacation Center is a residential resort with diverse recreational and social activities for the whole family. One price includes everything you and your family need for a full week’s vacation—all meals, lodging with daily housekeeping service, and most activities.

There is an extra charge for some activities that are offered as additions to our basic program. These may include kayaking lessons, our wine tasting tour, and yoga. The additional charge for these activities averages between $50 and $100 total per family.

The Family Vacation Center offers nine one-week sessions during the months of July and August. Families attend for a minimum of one week at a time. Children participate in activities with kids their own age, under supervision of enthusiastic UCSB student counselors.

Vacationers are free to take part in as many or as few of the programs as they desire.
