Walk on the wild side with Living Coast's Wildlife Camps!
Established in 2010, Wildlife Camps at the Living Coast are day camps for students between Pre-K and 6th grade. Located in beautiful Chula Vista, CA, camp is set at the Living Coast Discovery Center, a nonprofit zoo and aquarium located on the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
We hold camps seasonally, and this page will update as information comes out about each season's camp themes.
We recommend reading through the general pages on this site, as they provide valuable information on check-in & check-out, camper wellness, and what to bring for camp.
What makes our camps special?
We offer a variety of activities for our campers such as crafts, trail walks, science activities, games, and more. Most popular are our animal encounters, where campers can meet and interact with our animal encounters up close, and learn about the native wildlife around them in San Diego.
Our 4th-6th grade camps include field trips offsite. In the past, we have visited places such as the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Mission Trails, Cabrillo National Monument, and even gone kayaking and paddleboarding in the San Diego Bay!
We pride ourselves on providing experiences where campers are able to learn, grow, and have lots of fun in the process.
