Standard summer? Not here. These Bay Area summer camps are a cut above color war and bug juice.

Hang 10
Suit up your swimmer (ages 5 to 16) to catch the waves off West Marin at Big Dog Surf Camp. Big Dog (6-foot 5-inch founder Ian Glover) and crew raise the sport to a new level with soccer warmups, dance contests, and a tradition of generous nicknaming (Proof Lab, 254 Shoreline Highway, Mill Valley; 415-518-3805). Begins June 8.

Go Green
At Crissy Field Center summer camps, would-be rangers (grades 1 to 6) learn park stewardship at the heels of NPS pros. They’ll get their little hands dirty through marsh digs, birding expeditions, and solar oven cookie-baking (603 Mason Street, at Halleck Street, Presidio; 415-561-7762). Begins June 22.

Hablar Español
New to SF, Camp Lango gives kids (grades K to 4) traditional camp fare (relay races, charades, arts and crafts) with a Spanish twist. Native speakers from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia will have them salsa dancing and fully immersed in Español by the end of one week (Alvarado Elementary, 625 Douglass Street, at 22nd Street; 888-445-2646). Begins July 20.
