Scouts BSA Summer Resident Camp at Camp Fiesta Island, on beautiful Mission Bay !

Spend a week of Scouting adventure on the beach! This Aquatic Center facility is located on beautiful Mission Bay. You'll camp among the sandy dunes and set sail on Mission Bay. Campers at CFI enjoy the ultimate waterfront experience.

Scouts can kayak the bay, test their skills in the famous Flying Hull and Nautical Survival programs, or motorboat and stand-up paddleboard.

Along with our traditional popular merit badge and first-year "Mariner" programs, the CFI summer camp experience will feature exciting activities for Scouts of all ages. Pack your swimsuit and sunscreen for a great summer camp!

Program Information

Open Program Day!

The Open Program Day gives Scouts a break from the regular class schedule with opportunities to experience the open activities at the waterfront, craft area, and several 1/2-day additional merit badges. There is also the opportunity to get off the island and visit local San Diego attractions such as the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, USS Midway, or go on a chartered deep-sea fishing boat excursion, and more!

Extend Your Stay in San Diego?

‍Extend your adventure with our "Camp San Diego" option! Pitch your tents at our 15-acre Camp Balboa, next door to the world-famous San Diego Zoo. You can add days before or after your Fiesta Island week to enjoy the Zoo, Sea World, a Padres game at Petco Park, the USS Midway aircraft carrier, and more!
