Vacation Center

A week's worth of amusement, entertainment, recreation, relaxation, revelry, festivity, great doings, and other pleasurable diversions.

Sports.
If your idea of a vacation is plenty of tennis, the Vacation Center was made for you. Ten courts are available from 8 a.m. till 5 p.m., and our tennis instructors give free lessons every morning. And you're sure to find an opponent at your own skill level. There are free swimming classes for all age groups, too, as well as instruction in Archery. Volleyball clinics are held, and there are regular tournaments in 2-Man Basketball. Other sports at the Vacation Center include Table Tennis, Softball, Bicycling, and Golf.

Just for teens.
There are special programs for the teenager in your family, too. Casino Night lets teens enjoy an evening of high-stakes gambling, just for the fun of it. Beach trips are regular features, as well as special trips to the UCSB Physics Lab, where lasers Zap! and other provocative discoveries in science are on display. And for the brave there is Inner Tube Water Polo.

Crafts.
Our popular Crafts program for creative people of all ages this year features beginning and advanced Stained Glass using the copper foil method. Our crafts directors will instruct and assist you in any project you undertake in Candlemaking, Macrame, Tie-dying, Leather work, Calligraphy, Batik, Bread dough, Basket weaving and Needle weaving, all free of charge with nominal cost for materials.

Events.
Your week at SBVC starts with the Saturday night Welcome Show, which includes square dancing and getting to know your fellow vacationers. Sunday afternoon is the Family Carnival & Barbecue Picnic-an old-fashioned day of fun with corn on the cob and watermelon, 3-legged races, water balloon toss, tug of war, obstacle course, and the Vacation Center Derby for the kids & adults. During the week there will be special evenings: Casino Night for adults, Theme Dinner with costumes & talent show, Beach Campfire night, and the Friday Farewell show, in which the staff unleashes its thespian skills with shows such as "Friday Night Live" and "Star Trek." During the week stimulating seminars will be held on such subjects as Marine biology, the Channel Islands, the Plants of California, and the Architecture of Santa Barbara, taught by outstanding members of the academic community.

Santa Barbara.
And of course all the scenic and cultural wonders of Santa Barbara itself will tempt you. Throughout the summer concerts, plays and special events take place. The Museum of Art, the Old Spanish Mission, the Botanical Gardens, the Museum of Natural History are free. The Santa Ynez mountains offer hiking trails and backpacking areas, as well as several stables. In fact, there's so much to do you might be tempted to stay forever!s
