San Diego, CA

what to expect

You can expect lots of smiles and excitement! Our team of volunteers will be ready to greet you with open arms! When you pull up to the resort, a Blue Skies team member will greet you and help you get checked in.

Our days begin with fun and togetherness! We start with Good Morning Blue Skies, worship and Chapel. Afterward, parents gather to get to know each other and share their stories while the kids play and have fun! Afternoons are spent with fun activities from lounging at the pool, bike rides, walks along the shoreline, fitness center and more - there’s also plenty of time for naps or to sit back and take in the view! After dinner, get ready for lots of laughs and fun family time at our evening activities! After watching a glorious sunset, you can enjoy some milk and cookies before climbing into a comfy bed.

It's gonna be a great time! And hopefully, exactly what you and your family need!!

We ask every guest family to attend our welcome dinner and participate in our first Kindred Journeys session. We encourage guest families to participate in all camp activities, but, take from this weekend what your family needs and participate in what you choose.

meals

Most meals will be provided for those staying on-site. We’ll have bars and yogurt for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and dinners will vary.

housing

Volunteers and guests will stay in rooms at Kona Kai San Diego Resort. Your room assignments will be given at check-in.

travel

We wish we could blink you to camp, but each family must provide their own transportation. The closest airport to Kona Kai is the San Diego airport (which is only 3 miles away).

what to pack

You won’t need much! Pack casual clothes, bathing suits, flip-flops, and your toiletries. You may want to bring a sweatshirt, it can be chilly when the sun sets. Remember to bring all of your family's routine medications like Advil, Tylenol, bandaids, etc. along with any prescription medications, medical supplies, equipment and swim diapers if you have little ones. We are having a Splish Splash Blue Bash pool party on Sunday night - bring a blue bathing suit if you have one! On Wednesday night, we are having a beachfront Luau if you would like to bring something festive to wear or luau accessories (leis, hula skirts, etc.).

The resort will provide beach towels.
