Young Pioneers Summer Camp

Young Pioneers Summer Camp welcomes kids ages 4 to 10 to a weekly experience on a six-acre working farm in Vista. Each session features a different theme, with activities like harvesting, simple cooking, garden science, and creative crafts tied to whatever is in season. Themes include Seeds of Wonder, Sunny Side Up, Rainbow Harvest, and Melon Mania. Campers spend their mornings outdoors with their hands in the soil, and they finish the week with a tie-dyed camp shirt to take home. The cost is $350 per week, and space is limited.

Whacky Water Camp: Splish, Splash & Laugh!

The Whacky Water Camp offers a week of water-filled adventures and outdoor excitement. Kids take on relay races, sponge tag, water balloon challenges, and a giant water slide. Creativity flows with water-themed art projects that let campers craft unique pieces. Time on the farm gives children a chance to meet and learn about the animals, and energetic group games keep everyone moving. An optional extra hour of after-care is available for $20 per day. Recommended items include a swimsuit, towel, water shoes, a packed lunch, and a water bottle. This experience is designed for kids who enjoy water play, creative activities, and making new friends, with payment plans and an early bird discount available.
