Teen Groups – New Friends and Fun!
Our older campers have their own groups based on grade and age with designated groups for boys and girls tailored for their ages and abilities. We have special groups for 5th & 6th grade boys and girls, Junior High groups for 7th and 8th grade boys and girls and a co-ed high school group for 9th and 10 graders as part of our leadership program (CILTs). Each group is lead by an adult counselor who provides leadership, support and team building for all.
Sessions
Campers can attend 2, 4, or 8-Week sessions. Our longer 4 & 8-Week sessions are the most popular and provide the best camp experience. We understand session length is a commitment for families and so offer shorter 2-week sessions that still provide a great outdoor experience.
Before and After Camp Care.
We offer central bus stops in East Bay, San Francisco, Contra Costa and Tri Valley. Buses run from 8-9:00 am and 3-4:00 pm for the full camp day.
