Santa Cruz Mountains, CA | Grades 1-12
Overnight Camp
Why join us?
In our unique program, campers experience the perfect blend of independence and camaraderie. They have the freedom to choose their own activities, ensuring days are tailored to their interests. At the same time, they share meals, sleep, and spend time with their cabin family, building a strong sense of community and teamwork.
This balance allows campers to explore new passions, build friendships, and create lasting memories in a supportive environment.
