My kiddo (8) has been going to Monkey Business Camp (https://monkeybusinesscamp.com/) for a few years now, both for the summer sessions and the Thanksgiving/Winter/Spring breaks and she LOVES it. The counselors are warm and welcoming and they handle the protocols for covid really well. MBC has been our go to for school breaks since my kid was in TK, and likely will be until she ages out!
I strongly recommend checking out Monkey Business Camp because they have programs for school breaks and they are terrific. Lots of games, songs, creative play, art & sport activities with a really nice set of counselors and leaders. My son, Zach, attended for many years and then became a camp leader and has loved all of his time at Monkey Business both as a camper and a youth camp counselor. It has a really welcoming atmosphere and the kids seem engaged and excited to be there, participating in all kinds of fun activities.

We signed our son up for Trackers (trackersbay.com) for thanksgiving and part of winter camp. We did their summer camp last year and our kid loved it! It is in El Cerrito, so it's a bit of a drive, but it's worth it for a short time. In the before times they had a bus from central Berkeley, and I'm hoping those will return someday! They spend all day outside having a great time and learning some great outdoor skills. It's also really flexible, you can sign up for individual days depending on your childcare needs.
