Safety is our top priority
Health & wellness is more important to our camp families than ever before. The Kroc Center is committed to providing a fun, active, engaging, and safe camp experience for your child. This year you will see a few changes in how camp operates to ensure the safety of campers and staff.
Pick-up & Drop-off
The Drop-Off/Pick-Up process has been updated to maintain social distancing guidelines and includes a morning health assessment.
Socially Distanced
Masks will be worn at all times inside the Kroc Center, with the exception of during meals, while in the pool, and occasionally during socially distanced outdoor activities.
Washing hands
Campers will wash and/or sanitize hands regularly, including upon entering the Kroc Center, before and after meals, and in between any major activity change.
Stay Active
Get active at Camp Kroc! Staying active is extremely beneficial to a child's health and wellbeing and the best place to do that is at Camp Kroc! From swimming and skating to sports on the field, kids will be moving and playing throughout their time with us.
Christian Values
Add positive Christian values into your childs summer! During our “daily huddles” campers are introduced to positive, age- appropriate accounts from the Bible that convey examples of character development.

The Camp Kroc and their staff have always been wonderful with our children. They always have a very structured variety of activities and great meals that my kids actually like! I would highly recommend Camp Kroc to any family that I know.

Hello from the Camp Manager
Hello Camp Kroc Families!
I'm Molly, the Day Camp Manager here at the San Diego Kroc Center. I came to The Kroc with 16 years of camp & youth development experience ranging from day camps, overnight camps, outdoor science school, licensed childcare, play care, family camping, and academic enrichment. I spent the last eight years working for the YMCA of San Diego County, most recently serving as the Camp, Childcare, and Adventure Clubs Director for the Rancho Family YMCA. I graduated from Michigan State University, and enjoy the arts, STEM, sports, and the great outdoors.
After successfully running this summer season of Camp Kroc, I could not be more excited about the opportunity to work with campers again this winter at the San Diego Kroc Center! Thank you for trusting us to take care of your children; I look forward to meeting them at camp!
Molly Dillon / Camp Kroc Manager
