Outpost Summer Camps

Summer Day Camp Programs for North San Diego

Outpost Summer Camp meets directly west of the main buildings at Canyonside Community Park, located in Rancho Penasquitos. We use our own log amphitheater to hold morning and afternoon "campfires", and have access to the adjacent fields and activity areas for our other recreational activities.

Our site is located at the easternmost edge of the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, where the 56 freeway meets Black Mountain Rd in Rancho Peñasquitos. Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, a 3700-acre wilderness area with miles of hiking trails and other natural wonders, is jointly operated by the City and County of San Diego.

	Our swimming program is held at Mt Carmel High School pool, located a few miles north of our Canyonside Park site off of Carmel Mountain Rd. This is a newly rebuilt, state-of-the-art facility with a highly trained, professional staff of lifeguards. Read more about swimming on the general information page.

Our Senior Outpost program uses many other facilities around San Diego County. Click here to read more about this exciting adventure program.
