The camp day is 9:15 AM to 4:00 PM. The camp van comes to your home to pick up your camper between 8:00 - 9:00 AM, and returns to drop off your camper between 4:10 and 5:00 PM. The exact pick-up and drop-off time varies depending on your home's distance from the camp site. Offices and other pick-up and drop-off spots can often be arranged in lieu of a home if you are out of our transportation service area. Additional express pick-ups at neighborhood locations may be possible for those far-reaching areas that we do not regularly service if enough children from that area enroll.



Outpost Summer Camps (OSC) offers ACA accredited Summer Day Camp programs and school-year seasonal programs located in the north inland "I-15 corridor" of San Diego, California. (Map)



Our traditional summer camp programs are for children aged 3 - 14, split into three camps: Pre Camp (ages 3-5), Day Camp (grades 1-5), and Senior Outpost (grades 6-9). Our Day Camp and Senior Outpost programs are based at Canyonside Community Park in Rancho Penasquitos, adjacent to Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve, a 3700 acre wilderness preserve jointly operated by the City and County of San Diego. Our Pre Camp program is located at North City Presbyterian Church in Poway.



Our summer programs are offered between mid-June and August each summer, and we employ high school and college students as camp counselors. We also offer door-to-door transportation for the majority of our camp families.



During the school year, Outpost offers a unique social skills program called FRIENDS, located at Park Village Elementary School in Rancho Penasquitos. We also offer seasonal Winter Camp and Spring Camp programs during school holiday breaks.



OSC was founded in 2001, celebrates its 9th summer in 2010, and is privately owned and operated by Outpost Recreation and Education, Inc. Stuart Jones is the Executive Director, and welcomes new parents to our programs.
