Ready to explore some of California’s best-kept secrets? Let’s explore two of San Diego’s most magical spots: La Jolla and Old Town San Diego! Picture yourself gazing out over sparkling blue waves, soaking up the sun on golden beaches, then travelling back in time to the birthplace of California, filled with colourful buildings, delicious Mexican food, and fascinating history. With ES Camps, you’ll experience all this and more—all while practising English, meeting new friends, and making memories you’ll never forget!
Nestled along the coastline, La Jolla is known for its stunning ocean views, dramatic cliffs, and sandy beaches that invite you to relax, explore, and connect with nature. People travel from all over to experience La Jolla’s incredible beauty and fun outdoor activities, making it an ideal spot for a vacation in the summer season.
In La Jolla, the landscapes are stunning! You’ll find cliffs overlooking clear blue water, giving you views that feel straight out of a postcard. The beaches are perfect for enjoying the sun, having a picnic, or even trying out some new activities on the water.
La Jolla is also home to some amazing wildlife. As you explore, you might see sea lions, dolphins, or colourful birds, adding even more magic to this coastal gem. There are natural caves, unique rock formations, and peaceful spots to unwind and enjoy the California sunshine. You’ll be surrounded by natural beauty that makes you feel inspired and free!
Seals and Sea Lions: La Jolla is known for these cute, blubbery animals that love lounging on the rocks. It’s like the seals know they’re the main attraction! Just be sure to admire them from a distance, as these are wild animals.
California’s Rare Torrey Pines: La Jolla is one of the only places where you’ll find Torrey pine trees. These unique trees are perfect for cool nature photos!
Inspiration for Artists and Writers: La Jolla’s beauty has inspired countless artists, writers, and movie makers. Who knows, maybe you’ll feel inspired to create something while you’re here!
Now, let’s shift gears and travel back to Old Town San Diego! This is where California began, a place bursting with history, culture, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. Wandering Old Town feels like stepping into the past, with old-fashioned shops, vibrant markets, and delicious Mexican food filling the streets. It’s the perfect spot for culture lovers, history buffs, and foodies!
Old Town is an outdoor museum! Here, you’ll find original buildings from the 1800s, little museums, and shops that bring California’s past to life. Walk through the old-fashioned schoolhouse, see an original courthouse, and imagine what life was like back in the day.
Love colourful art, handmade jewellery, and cool souvenirs? Bazaar del Mundo is the place for you! This lively market has fun things to buy, from traditional crafts to beautiful Mexican pottery. It’s a perfect place to pick up a unique memory from your trip.
Feeling brave? The Whaley House is said to be one of America’s most haunted houses! Take a nighttime ghost tour to hear spooky stories and maybe even spot a ghost. It’s a mix of fun and thrills, perfect for the curious and the brave!
Old Town is packed with authentic Mexican restaurants. Whether you’re trying tacos, enchiladas, or churros for the first time, you’re in for a treat. Some places even have live music and dancing, so you can experience Mexican culture in the best way possible.
Our summer school programs make it easy to combine learning with adventure. Imagine chatting with friends as you stroll along La Jolla Cove, exploring Old Town’s hidden gems, or sharing a meal in one of Old Town’s Mexican restaurants—all while practising your English skills in real-life situations. With ES Camps, you’ll get the best of both worlds: a real American adventure and an English-learning experience.
