When school’s out and kids are bursting with energy, parents need more than just a place to drop them off. They need somewhere safe, structured, and seriously fun. That’s where the best indoor pool in San Diego comes to your rescue. Set against the backdrop of San Diego’s iconic Belmont Park, The Plunge Adventure Camp is more than just a break from routine—it’s a full-on adventure packed with swimming, games, and unforgettable experiences.

Whether your child is a budding explorer, a thrill-seeker, or just needs to burn off that endless kid energy, The Plunge offers something for everyone. It’s not just about keeping kids busy. It’s about keeping kids engaged, moving, laughing, and learning. With a carefully designed program that balances structure and play, this camp delivers an experience kids talk about all year, and ask to return to again and again.

What is The Plunge Adventure Camp Experience?

Running year-round during school breaks and summer, this camp is designed for kids ages 5 to 12 who crave action, variety, and a splash of something new every day. With flexible drop-off and pick-up times, exciting themed weeks, and award-winning aquatic attractions, The Plunge isn’t just a camp—it’s the kind of place kids can’t wait to return to, and parents feel confident about.

At its core, The Plunge Adventure Camp is all about blending structure and spontaneity, learning and laughter. Think of it as summer camp reimagined—where kids dive into a different world every week, both literally and figuratively. Here’s what sets it apart:

Age-appropriate supervision & ratios

Safety is top priority. That’s why camper-to-staff ratios are tightly managed:

• Age 5: 1 staff for every 6 campers
• Ages 6-8: 1 staff for every 8 campers
• Ages 9-12: 1 staff for every 10 campers

Every group is supported by trained, energetic staff who not only supervise but also engage with kids on their level—playing, teaching, and cheering them on through every activity.

Flexible scheduling that works for families

The camp runs from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday. For parents with early meetings or late workdays, extended care is available:

• Early drop-off as early as 7:30 am
• Late pick-up until 6:00 pm

Parents can pay $25/hour per child or choose unlimited extended care for $179/week—ideal for working families who need consistent coverage.

Endless activities (Of course, swimming—but so much more)

The name “Plunge” hints at the water fun, but that’s just the start. Campers get access to Belmont Park’s full lineup of kid-approved attractions and experiences:

• Free swim time and splash-filled action on The Plunge’s award-winning aquatic obstacle course
• Themed weeks that bring each day to life with costumes, games, and storytelling
• Beach and bay excursions, letting campers explore nature and build sandcastles or chase waves
• Park-wide adventures like rock climbing, ropes courses, laser tag, and miniature golf
• Crafts and educational enrichment, with activities designed to build motor skills, social confidence, and curiosity

And for those looking to level up their experience, there’s the Escapology escape room challenge—a Wednesday-only add-on for just $20. Teamwork, logic, and a bit of adrenaline come together for one of the most popular premium options.

Lunches that actually get eaten

Let’s face it: kids can be picky. That’s why The Plunge offers optional daily lunches for just $10, complete with a drink and chips. Entrée options hit all the kid-favorite marks:

• Hamburger or Cheeseburger
• Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza
• Chicken Tenders
• Caesar Salad

Parents can pack lunch if they prefer, but this easy add-on saves time and hassle.

Belmont Park annual pass requirement

Since camp activities are spread throughout Belmont Park, an annual pass is required for each camper. Don’t worry—there’s a discounted $99 rate available during registration, and the pass activates on the first day of camp. That means families can return and enjoy Belmont Park all year long.
