Escondido Creek Adventure Camp

Overview:

Escondido Creek Adventure Camp is a summer day camp hosted by the Escondido Creek Conservancy for children ages 7-10.

Participants will learn about their local environment, the challenges it faces, and what they can do to help.

 

Cost:

Escondido Creek Adventure camp costs $275 per child for one 5-day camp.

 

Schedule:

Camps will occur Monday-Friday, 8:00am-1:30pm. Participants will meet at Grape Day Park and a van will transport campers to the Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve (EFRR). At noon, campers will be transported back to Grape Day Park, where they will eat lunch (if they brought one) and have supervised free-play time at the park until 1:30pm. Parents/Guardians must drop off their child promptly at 8:00am and can pick up their child anytime 1:00-1:30pm.
