For Campers 6-10 years old.
Have you ever wondered if bread always falls peanut butter side down? Can you pull a tablecloth off and fully set the table without anything breaking? Or Does a Pirates eye patch help them see better? Can you pull two interlocking phone books apart? Each day in Mythbusters Camp, we will explore 1- 2 myths depending on how detailed they are.
Although it is a Speciality Camp, campers also will get to do all of the other awesome activities CaHiTo has to offer, including hiking, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, organized games, climbing wall (allowing that the Camper is eight and up at the start of the program) and much more.

Program
A typical day begins with all Campers meeting at their assigned Camp Sites. All Campers will be in small groups of children of the same age, with whom they will spend the entire session. The camper Staff ratio will be 2:16. Camp CaHiTo is a “group-centered” camp – meaning that our campers have the same counselor and peer group for the camp session. Group-centered camping gives children the best opportunity to experience the powerful feeling of belonging, to make and keep new friends, and to connect with their counselors.
Campers participate in various activities, including age-appropriate games, hikes, and crafts determined by the counselors and what the group likes to do. Activities include Stem Activities, Archery, Hiking, Art and Crafts, Scavenger Hunts, and more.

Health and Safety
Camp Fire San Diego – Camp CaHiTo continues to follow guidance from federal, state, and local authorities, the American Camp Association, and advice from public health departments at the State and County levels to keep our campers and staff populations safe and healthy. Our campers and staff’s safety and health are always the highest priority. We have always taken great care to develop and maintain medical practices to address various infectious diseases, both common and rare.
We will continually be updating our policy as additional COVID-19 guidance is provided. Camp Cancellations will be made by public health authorities guidelines and other considerations. We will follow all directives to reduce exposure at Camp and continue to update you if the public health department decides on: quarantines, Camp closures, and exclusion policies.
While Camp might look a little different this year, we hope campers find the same high-quality programming they have come to love at Camp CaHiTo.
