    Cost:
    Camp Week 1 (just 3 days) is $144.
    Camp Week 2 (5 days), which includes a field trip to Sea World, is $257. 

    Camp Week 2 at La Costa Meadows, Richland and San Elijo will include a field trip to the Sea World on Tuesday, January 6, 2026. Therefore, the price for the week is $257, which includes camp care and the field trip. There is no stay-back care on field trip days. See our FAQ's below for more info.
     
    Winter Camp registration opens online at 8:00 am on Thursday, November 20, 2025 in EZ ChildTrack. If you use KOC during the school year, you must sign up separately for Camps. All SMUSD families are welcome to enroll for Camp, even if they do not use KOC care during the school year.
