Summer Starts This Saturday at the San Diego Camp Fair

San Diego parents, it’s time to get serious about summer in the best possible way. This Saturday, March 7, the San Diego Camp Fair is taking place at the beautiful campus of the University of San Diego for one exciting, high-energy afternoon dedicated entirely to helping families plan an amazing summer.

Hosted by Coast-to-Coast Camp Fairs, this event gives families the opportunity to explore a wide variety of camp options all in one place, and admission is completely free.

Why Does this Event Matter?

​Choosing a camp isn’t just about filling time in the summer. It’s about confidence, friendships, independence, skill-building, and discovering passions. But with so many options online, it can feel overwhelming trying to compare programs from a laptop screen.

​At the San Diego Camp Fair, everything becomes easier. You’ll discover an incredible lineup of camps and meet the camp directors face-to-face. You’ll ask real questions and get real answers. You’ll see which camps connect with your child. In just one afternoon, you can accomplish what might otherwise take weeks of research.

What You'll Find at the San Diego Camp Fair

Families can expect a diverse mix of camps at this Saturday's camp fair, including:

• Local San Diego day camps
• Traditional overnight camps
• Sports and specialty training programs
• STEM and academic enrichment camps
• Performing arts and creative programs
• Outdoor adventure and wilderness experiences
• Leadership and teen travel opportunities
​
Whether your child loves robotics, theater, soccer, surfing, coding, filmmaking, horseback riding, or just being outdoors with friends, there will be options to explore.

How to Make the Most of Your Camp Fair Experience

There will be a lot of camps to meet, and many families expected to attend, so we suggest arriving early so you will have enough time to speak with multiple camps.

Another suggestion: Bring a short list of questions about schedules, staff ratios, safety policies, transportation, and payment plans.

When meeting the camps, be sure to let your child participate in the conversations. You'll quickly see which camps excite them the most.
Many families leave with clarity, confidence, and sometimes even registration completed on the spot.
