Daily Life at Summer Day Camp

Below are sample schedules for day camp. These tables are for frame of reference to give parents an idea of the format of our camp. The schedule may change depending on the activities and themes planned by each group’s leaders. Excursion days will follow a different schedule, which is to be determined on a case-by-case basis. See Summer Day Camp staff for updates regarding excursion schedules.

• Camper to counselor ratio is 10:1 or less.
• Campers are assigned to a group for that day, and each group will have 1 counselor and 1+ Jr. Counselors.
• On excursion days, the entire camp will be leaving the CRC (with the exception of on-site excursions). No staff will be left behind to supervise campers whose parents wish to exclude them from the excursion that day.
• The excursion schedule will be published on the first day of each session.
• Some excursions may require an earlier drop-off and later pick-up time than 8:00am and 6:00pm. You will be notified in advance of these excursions.
• Parents are required to sign a new permission slip for each excursion.
• Transportation to and from excursions for campers will be provided, and is already included in the cost of the program.
• Lunch is typically provided by Summer Day Camp for excursion days. Please see that week’s permission slip for information about lunch requirements for each excursion.
• For some excursions, parents are encouraged to give a small amount of spending money to their camper. This typically would be for an excursion that has an arcade or games (ie. Mulligans, Castle Park, etc.). Giving spending money is not mandatory, and is a decision that each parent must make. Campers are responsible for keeping track of their money and any belongings that are brought on excursions.
• Off-site excursions may include: Mulligans, San Diego Zoo, Castle Park, AMC Cinema, Balboa Park, and Knott’s Berry Farm.
• Off-site excursions for Teen Camp (ages 12 – 14 only) may include: Promenade Mall, Santa Rosa Plateau, Temecula Lanes Bowling, Sea Port Village, Pole Position Racing, and Get Air Trampoline Park.
• On-site excursions for all ages may include: Summer Olympics, Carnival, and Painted Earth.
