Camp WOW

Our popular Camp WOW (Wild on Watsonville) day camps are designed to give children a fun, active, diverse and safe experience. Our experienced Camp Leaders plan games, art, recreational activities and field trips around weekly themes. Prices include breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks and a camp t-shirt. 

Youth Soccer

The City of Watsonville Parks & Community Services Department offers soccer to youth ages 3-13. Our goal is for all youth sports participants, parents, children, and volunteers to have an enjoyable experience. Character and skill development are the main components. Non-competitive games are a part of every season, and each child will play an equal amount of time in every game or as close as possible over the course of the season considering the team size. Of course, a FUN and friendly environment is characteristic of all our programs.
