Camp Fire San Diego in downtown San Diego near Balboa Park operates a 7.5-acre nature reserve called Camp CaHiTo, the San Diego affiliate of a national youth-development organization founded in 1910. The Balboa Drive campus runs year-round day camps for children ages three through eighteen — including spring break, summer, Thanksgiving, and winter sessions — using the same Balboa Park footprint where San Diego Civic Youth Ballet trains young performers. Camp Fire was the first nonsectarian, interracial youth organization for girls in the United States, and the San Diego chapter has served the county for more than 50 years while maintaining that coed, inclusive enrollment model. Programming at Camp CaHiTo is group-centered, assigning campers to age-cohort pods — Starflight for ages five through seven, Adventure for eight through ten, Discovery for eleven through thirteen, and a counselor-in-training track for high schoolers — with the same counselor and peer group for the duration of each session. Activities rotate through archery, low-ropes challenge courses, outdoor living skills, fire safety and building, nature crafts, and hiking along the reserve's trail network, all structured around the national Camp Fire curriculum for social development and decision-making, a framework also used by youth-education partners like the San Diego Central Library. The organization's most resource-intensive operation is its summer season, when approximately 2,000 campers cycle through multi-week sessions that require state-licensed staffing ratios, food-service permitting, and coordination with San Diego's park-use authority for the Balboa Park grounds.
