Sparking Wonder in the Heart of Balboa Park

Empowering San Diego youth through outdoor adventure since 1910.

At Camp CaHiTo, we believe that every child needs a secure place to explore, grow, and discover their spark. As the San Diego affiliate of Camp Fire—a national leader in youth development for over a century—we provide a 7.5-acre natural reserve where curiosity meets adventure.

Why Choose Camp CaHiTo?

We offer more than just a place to play. We use the well-established Camp Fire curriculum to help children build life skills that last long after the week is over.

Rated 5 out of 5
I would give Camp Cahito 10 stars if I could. From a logistical standpoint, it's easy to sign up, the drop off and pick up are well organized.

Kids get to be kids and get dirty, do crafts, play, climb and be summertime end of day exhausted. Trees keep it shady and give it an out in the forest feel.

My Kids love this camp. The staff is so helpful and friendly. We love they come home exhausted and in need of a long bath to get the dirt off of them.
