Summer 2026 Travel Camp
We are excited to offer travel trips again, to some of the most beautiful places California has to offer. Travel Camp is the perfect program for our more independent campers who want to experience the fun of traveling in the great outdoors with good friends. Our Travel Campers get to enjoy life on the road, sightseeing & visiting local attractions, campfires, camping out in tents or under the stars, participating in campsite set up, meal prep & cooking in a cooperative team environment — and gaining valuable skills along the way — and so much more!
