Great Family Vacation destination!!
blonde00 - Feb 7th, 2012
FVC is great!! For the price of a Cruise without leaving port and having the ability to leave the kids with trained counselors while the adults get to have fun themselves (wine tasting tours, time to relax without the kids) is a great vacation more +week!

We've been there for 3 years now and without hesitation, will go back again. Most families return the same week year after year and you spend time with old and new friends. The counselors are even multi-year staff members and they have a blast with all of us that return year after year.

The kids have a blast, the adults get time to themselves and then you have family time. We have 3 generations travel with us each year and everyone has fun.

Our favorite activies are:
1. Time at the craft hut making creative derby cars
2. Spending time at the beach/pool
3. Seeing our kids enjoying themselves and creating new friends

I think our older daughter is going to learn how to skateboard this year. Last year, she got her confidence up to upgrade her bike to the next size. Our youngest son had a blast riding his tricycle to his group and back and forth to the cafeteria. We adults had a blast going into Santa Barbara for the Art Walk (local vendors selling art) and having an adult night out in Santa Barbara for dinner without the kids. The adult activities at night were great too (Margarita making contests).

UC Santa Barbara Family Vacation Center
Susan C - Apr 11th, 2010
Our family has been attending UCSB Family Vacation Center for 7-years now & we plan to continue until the kids go off to college! This is the most relaxing all-inclusive vacation our family has ever experienced. We can always depend on the beautiful more +dorm facilities overlooking the ocean, recreation center & gym, fantastic dining commons, daily activities for all & a cheerful and entertaining staff made up of college students! We have spread the news to everyone in San Diego and have made lifelong family friendships at the FVC. The kids look forward to this family vacation each year and continue to count down the days until our annual week's summer attendance! Susan C.
