I would give Camp Cahito 10 stars if I could. From a logistical standpoint, it's easy to sign up,…read morethe drop off and pick up are well organized, and so is the medicine drop off (my kiddo has an epi pen for bee stings). Even adding money to the snack shack card is easy. I've also been put on the wait list a few times and had no problem with that proecss. On Thursdays, there's limited parking and they literally wait at the sidewalk helping get the kids in quickly so you don't get a ticket. The people here are a total class act and really seem to love what they do. My kids come home FILTHY and raving about their teachers: Puddles, Butterfly, Scooby, Walrus, Ant to name a few that I can remember this week :) They also love the archery, the arts and crafts, and of course, the snack shack. Newt, I beleive runs the place. He greets the kids with such enthusiasm and respect and kindness. We even had an incident with our older kid last year and received a phone call explaining the situation with my kiddo right there. He was firm, authoratative, explained what needed to be done next time, but completely appropriate and at the same time reassuring to my son that they were on the same team and in the end, all was good. Did my son cry? Yes. He also clearly got the point, has not made the same mistake, and still loves going to Camp. It was handled perfectly and I really appreciated it. I've seen a handful of comments from several years back with bad reviews about customer service. This was before my time, but I can say those reviews feel foreign to the experience I've had here for now 2 summers. Can't recommend this place enough.

I have known ThoughtStem since my daughter was in 5th grade and she is now a sophomore in high…read moreschool! My daughter had an interest in coding when her elementary school introduced Scratch-based programming in Technology class. She was adept at it and so we were looking for after-school and weekend enrichment classes to supplement her learning. ThoughtStem was one of the first companies to offer coding classes to young students in San Diego. My daughter started taking classes from them on Sundays at UCSD; it was a fun self-paced program with college students guiding them if needed. My daughter also took other classes from them that were offered through her school district's after-school enrichment program. Since then, my daughter has continued to pursue studies in AP computer science, engineering, and robotics. She is even volunteering to help other young students learn to code! I am so grateful to companies like ThoughtStem, also know as MetaCoders (They are now a non-profit organization. Woohoo!), for igniting an interest in science and technology for my daughter!

I haven't visited this lovely aquarium in a couple of years, it is still well maintained. We arrived in time for the sea dragon feeding and penguin feeding.

We loved the gift shop! Definitely check this small aquarium out.

It was neat seeing the jellyfish, large aquarium display, and the seahorses! The interactive area outside was underwhelming and had very little sea life to explore.

Overall the aquarium was small and would be worthwhile for them to consider an upgrade.
