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.
- Unplug & Reconnect: A full week away from screens to awaken the senses and a desire to learn.
- A Hidden Gem: 7.5 acres of beautiful nature nestled right in the heart of Balboa Park.
- Growth: We focus on social development, decision-making skills, and outdoor exploration.
- Expert Guidance: Our highly trained, caring staff are there every step of the way to ensure a safe and supportive environment.
