We are beyond grateful for the incredible summer that we had with our campers. It was so fun singing songs, smashing watermelon, meeting new friends, finding treasure in a cave, riding horses and so much more with you all this summer.  We will stay in touch throughout the year, and in the meantime, follow us on social media (instagram and facebook)!

We will see you soon 🙂 – Levi & Camo

Let’s kick off the countdown to Summer 2026 

Is there a referral program for recruiting friends?

Yes, our hope is that our camp families love their experience at ECDC and long to share with friends and family. For Summer 2026, currently enrolled families can split 25% off with new campers they recruit.

How this works:

1. Enrolled families share camp and recruit new campers to attend ECDC.
2. When a new family enrolls their child(ren), they note their referring family in the indicated field on the application.
3. Our office will be in touch with you when your referral is officially enrolled into a camp session. If you want to give the office a call beforehand, please call 949-361-3077.
4. Both new camper and enrolled family receive 12.5% ($240) off Summer 2026 tuition.

Parameters:

• The new camper must enroll for a summer session before a discount is applied.
• New campers must attend an enrolled session for both families to receive the discount. If the new camper cancels their enrollment prior to attending summer 2026, then the discount on the referring family’s account will be reversed and that family will be responsible for the remaining balance.
• Discounts can be stacked. A 12.5% discount is earned for each new camper that an enrolled family recruits.
• A first-time camper can be a referring family. You must be enrolled but not required to be returning. First Year Campers can recruit and earn more discounts.
• Discount will be applied by the Administrative Director before the final payment due one month prior to session start.

Returning Family Registration is open! New Family Registration opens February 18th!
