Camp Phoenix
About
Camp Phoenix is a fun-filled, justice-centered program that is intentional about empowering teens from low-income backgrounds and reconnecting them to nature so they can become the leaders our community—and our planet—needs. Our three-week, overnight summer camp blends the fun of sleepaway camp with the rigor of exploratory learning to propel middle school students into the next school year and beyond. Throughout the year, we guide teens on weekend trips throughout the Bay Area to expose them even more to what Mother Nature has to offer. Founded in 2012, Camp Phoenix serves about 90 campers each summer and strives to bring joy, love and opportunity to everyone who joins the flock.
Support is provided, Instructors are trained in ELL strategies and we have multiple Spanish-speaking staff (however, we do not have Hmong or Arabic speaking staff).
We serve youth with an array of learning differences and IEPs but no disabilities that need special care or a certified professional.
Our program is for low-income youth who qualify for free or reduced lunch. The cost per child is $40 total. If you cannot pay $40, we will waive the fee.
