Our seasonal Day Camps are open to children in Kindergarten through 8th grade, offering a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities including sports, arts and crafts, games, STEM projects, clubs, themed events, and more! Each camp is led by our dedicated team of trained, caring, and enthusiastic Community Services staff who prioritize your child’s safety, growth, and fun.

Day Camp sessions align with the Lemon Grove School District calendar and are offered during school breaks, including Spring Break, Summer, Fall, Turkey and Winter.
