Spectacular Summer Camps at Presidio Hill School

A small but mighty lineup of camps where PHS students and friends explore their unique interests, build skills for use within and outside the classroom, and build community together on our historic campus and in the Presidio.

Each summer, Presidio Hill offers a limited number of camps led by PHS educators and partners. We call this season "PHS Spectacular Summer" because our camps feel like all of the best parts of the school year with more room to play, explore, and try something new with friends new and old.
