At Clairemont High School (CHS), we do not just manage facilities. We host world-class experiences. This summer proved exactly why our campus is a premier athletic hub in San Diego. Through powerful partnerships and thoughtful relationship building, we brought global sports icons directly to our neighborhood.
For the second consecutive year, world number two tennis superstar Carlos Alcaraz and his organization chose Clairemont High School as their official San Diego summer camp site.
The Carlos Alcaraz Academy Camps were a sold-out success. This elite program introduces players to a demanding, structured training environment. It challenges how athletes think about the game. Whether supporting competitive goals or strengthening a personal connection to tennis, the impact extends far beyond a single week on the court. The Alcaraz team’s continued trust in our school highlights the professional quality of our tennis facilities.
No sooner had the tennis nets settled than our stadium exploded with energy. San Diego Padres superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. took over the CHS stadium alongside 1,000 of his adoring fans.
It was an incredible day of athletics, teamwork, intensive training, and pure fun. Tatis was absolutely amazing with the youth participants. Every single attendee walked away with a massive smile—none bigger than the one on Fernando’s face!
We make things happen at Clairemont. By partnering with elite athletes and organizations, we create unique opportunities that better the lives of our friends, families, and neighbors. From world-class tennis courts to a stadium capable of hosting thousands of fans, there is simply no better place to be than right here at CHS!
Thank you to all of our incredible families for trusting us with your Champions! It was an unforgettable week filled with laughter, new friendships, teamwork, inclusion, and tons of fun.
We are so proud of every camper for encouraging one another, trying new things, and showing what it means to be a Champion!
A huge shoutout to our incredible camp staff for bringing the energy, passion, and heart that made this week so special. You made a lasting impact on every child!
Thank you for being part of the Champion Kids Camp family—we can’t wait to see everyone again next year! Save the Dates: July 19-23, 2026

Though we have not yet decided on what "The Captain" mascot will look like (more to come and images to be shared for input in the Fall/Winter), you will see different variations of our new logos on publications such as the SWAG, CHS documents, and as we rebrand our campus. We are excited to introduce our brand which combines a compass design with the ocean sunset view we are fortunate to have from our campus. Additionally, the "Clairemont" font connects the high school to its community roots. Welcome to all our Clairemont High Captains!
