★★★★★Miae GutierrezThis was our son's second time, and both the first and second experiences were absolutely the best. Through activities like snorkeling, kayaking, surfing, sailing, wall climbing, and hiking, my child can gain confidence from a wide range of experiences. The staff who support these activities are the kindest, most patient, and most attentive we've ever met at any camp. If you want your kids to have fun, get off screens, enjoy nature, and be challenged during the break,I highly recommend this camp. I think It's the best camp in San Diego for kids.
★★★★★BrandeeOur child has attended Positive Adventures day camp for the past three summers and always looks forward to the next one. The staff are consistently kind, supportive, and encouraging, which helps create a comfortable environment to try new things. The camp offers a mix of outdoor activities that let kids explore and stay active. Kayaking has definitely been a favorite, and each year brings a few new experiences that keep it interesting. It’s been a great way for him to build confidence and enjoy being active outside. We really appreciate the thoughtful approach the staff takes with the campers. It's been a positive experience year after year.
★★★★★Ann Feeley-SummerlEveryone in this camp was enthusiastic, fun, and energetic. My kid had a blast and tried a bunch of things that were new for her. It really allowed her to step out of her comfort zone and shine!
★★★★★Nicole Freel BaldridgeBest camp ever!! I was so relieved to be leaving my kids with actual adults and not teen counselors. The two staff members were energetic, upbeat, great with the kids, and able to quickly adapt to unexpected circumstances. It was too windy to sail on our sailing day, so George took the kids around the bay in a pontoon boat, and a fantastic time was had by all. On hiking day, an especially high tide had covered the planned hiking course, but George took the campers to Annie's Canyon for a really cool slot canyon hike. George somehow convinced both my kids that they love and excel at kayaking, surfing and rock climbing, and they have been so excited to do all of these things again soon.
★★★★★Iliana ValenzuelaOur kids loved Positive Adventures Summer Camp! Definitely coming back next year! They enjoyed all outdoor activities! We would not change a thing! Thank you for all this summer fun!
