Camp Costa Mesa runs day camp programs during all NMUSD breaks (summer, winter, Presidents’ week, and spring break). Campers will be able to reconnect as well as make new friends as they participate in excursions (local and out of the county), sports, games, songs and skits, educational options, and arts & crafts each week.

Summer Camp Costa Mesa runs for nine weeks at Estancia Park for children entering 1st through 6th grade for the upcoming school year. Children entering TK or Kindergarten are not eligible for Summer Camp.

All smaller camps (winter break, Presidents’ week, and spring break) run for one to two weeks at the Balearic Community Center for children currently enrolled in Kindergarten through 6th grade. Children enrolled in Pre-K and TK are not eligible for small camps.
