The opportunity for my children to attend Outpost Summer Camps turned out to be one of the best experiences of our summer. As a parent, my expectations were exceeded each and every day. The small, yet important, details that are often overlooked at a typical camp, such as frequent sunscreen application and adequate water intake, were integrated into the daily routine of the children, alleviating my worry and keeping my kids safe. Yet while sunscreen and water are important, it was the sheer enthusiasm my children displayed every morning for another day of camp that brought such joy to our days. My 12 year old son said how he enjoyed “the opportunity to try new activities, like rock climbing and sailing, and the camaraderie between my group.” Echoing the sentiment of camaraderie, my 10 year old daughter loved “group activities because they were exciting and required real team work.”
Outpost Summer Camps did not overlook any details required for a safe, exciting summer experience. From the time spent singing in the vans, the consistent enthusiasm of the counselors or the top-notch excursions, Outpost provided my children with carefree days filled with excitement and character building. As a parent, sending my children off each morning, I was confident that they were being kept safe and being provided with an opportunity to make long lasting memories in a safe, exciting environment. My children have participated in many San Diego County summer camp programs and Outpost Summer Camps surpassed all others in our family’s eyes.
