The most amazing camp ever! I was a girls councilor and it was so rewarding making a difference in each kid’s life everyday.

Emerald Cove Day Camp is truly a gem! From the moment I dropped my kids off in the morning, they were greeted with joy and enthusiasm. My kids felt like rock stars. The staff, not just their counselors, knew them by name. It was clear that this camp is all about creating a fun, silliness, while instilling values in our kids. It was safe while being adventurous. I was incredibly impressed by the staff- their enthusiastic energy, their care, and they were always ready to engage with the campers in a way that makes the kids feel welcome and valued. The camp is full of exciting activities-beach days, horseback riding, rock climbing...but what stands out the most is how Emerald Cove instills values in the kids while making sure everyone is having a blast. It’s the perfect combination of adventure, fun, and character-building. I highly recommend sending your kids!

★★★★★Sarah Duarte

Quite possibly the best camp in California, that you could send your child to! I can promise you that these two weeks will be transformative, and your child will grow in character, skills, relationships, and faith over the course of two weeks. The staff is an incredible group of young adults who provide excellent mentorship and guidance for each child. Not to mention that your kids will be raving about the activities for years to come. The love that my family has for this camp is boundless and it has such a special place in our hearts. We love Emerald Cove Day Camp!
