Day Camp and Senior Outpost
The camp day is 9:15 AM to 4:00 PM. The camp van comes to your home to pick up your camper between 8:00 - 9:00 AM, and returns to drop off your camper between 4:10 and 5:00 PM. The exact pick-up and drop-off time varies depending on your home's distance from the camp site. Offices and other pick-up and drop-off spots can often be arranged in lieu of a home if you are out of our transportation service area. Additional express pick-ups at neighborhood locations may be possible for those far-reaching areas that we do not regularly service if enough children from that area enroll.

In addition to our standard door-to-door transportation option, parents may choose two other options for arrival and pick-up each camp day. Parents may bring their campers to and from camp - families choosing this option must drop off their children between 8:45 and 9:00 AM, and pick them up between 3:45 and 4:00 PM. We also offer an Extended Camp program. Parents may drop off their campers as early as 7:30 AM and/or pick them up anytime up until 5:30 PM. Extended Camp is offered at an additional fee of $5 per camp day for either the AM or PM program, or $7 per day for both. Families must select door-to-door transportation, parent drop-off/pick-up, OR extended camp for the entire 3-week session. Families can choose one option for AM and one for PM if desired. Contact our office if you have additional questions about these options.

Each camper brings a lunch from home and drinks are provided by Outpost Summer Camp. We serve a daily snack in the afternoon, such as granola bars and watermelon.
We swim Mondays through Fridays at Mt Carmel High School pool, located a few miles north of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve. Campers bring their swimsuits on their first day of camp. We keep the swimsuits at camp, where they are rinsed, dried and available for the next day. In addition to fun and unique water games and activities, campers can participate in a lap-swimming program to earn badges. Each camper is individually evaulated on his/her swimming skills on the first day of each session, so that the best level of supervision and coaching can be provided at all times. In addition to the Poway Unified School District lifeguard staff, our individual camp directors directly supervise the pool program for Outpost on site, each camp day.

Pre Camp
The camp day is 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM. There is no door-to-door transportation for Pre Camp. Parents drop off their campers between 9:30 AM and 9:45 AM and pick up between 1:15 PM and 1:30 PM. There is also no extended day program available at this time.
Pre Camp has been carefully designed as an age-appropriate introductory summer day camp experience. We create a nurturing environment built around the individual needs of each of our campers. A typical camp day begins with a "campfire", our traditional assembly full of songs, skits, and other old-fashioned camp activities. Campers then split into small, co-ed groups led by staff who balance camper needs (in a parental-type of approach) with creating excitement and energy for the camp activities.
In their small groups campers then begin the program. Activities include hiking and exploring the surrounding area, scavenger hunts, mystery guests, nature based crafts, old-fashioned age-appropriate camp games, and other traditional camp programming. We strive to create a unique community with a strong sense of belonging, so that each child feels a part of his/her "special group".

Parents send a sack lunch with their Pre Campers - Outpost provides water during lunchtime. We know that 3-5 year old children vary in their ability and stamina to handle situations over the course of a busy camp day - so we're always on the lookout for anyone who needs extra attention or nurturing.
