Camps
Camp Program Overview
The City of Escondido has two different camp programs to fit your families schedule and interests. Discovery Camp is a full day program that is hosted by City Staff at the East valley Community Center. Specialty Camps are another option for families who do not require full day child care but are interested in focused activities such as fishing, dance, art, or sports! These action packed camps are led by our experienced partners who provide a safe and fun environment to our community.
