We provide fun and engaging programs for our campers, and respite for their families/caregivers, with overnights, and longer travel trips throughout the year. All of our Year-Round Program Events are exciting and enriching opportunities for campers and staff alike to experience the great outdoors with their friends, as well as enjoy the many beautiful parks & attractions of California and beyond!
Whether we are spending the weekend having fun at Camp Krem, or out and about on a trip, we focus on fun, community integration, education, and building independence and daily living skills.
During our overnights at Camp Krem Yosemite, activities include swimming, music, dance & movement, hiking, nature walks, stargazing, arts and crafts, themed events, movie nights, talent shows, games, animal care, gardening, cooking and baking, and more!

Travel Trips:
Travel Camp is the perfect program for our more independent campers who want to experience the fun of traveling with good friends. Our Travel Campers get to enjoy life on the road, sightseeing & visiting local attractions, “glamping” and camping out, participating in campsite set up, meal prep & cooking etc in a cooperative team environment. Campers make memories to last a lifetime, while gaining valuable skills along the way!
We offer travel trips to a wide range of exciting destinations around California and beyond, including a Spring Break trip and a winter snow trip. Past destinations included Mexico, Tennessee, Hawaii, San Diego, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Disneyland, Lake Tahoe, Apple Hill, and Yosemite.

Transportation
Bus Transportation Costs – Applies to: ALL camper families – RC, SDP, and Private Pay
- Bus transportation fees are:
- $153.46 one way
- $306.92 round trip
- Bus transportation fees will be charged upon signing up for Camp Krem bus transportation for an event.
Regional Center Clients:
Due to changes at the DDS (State of California) level, Regional Center transportation funding has been reduced, and families are now responsible for most bus transportation costs for events held at Camp Krem Yosemite. Camp Krem receives $56.92 per camper per month in transportation funding directly from Regional Center upon submission and approval of a transportation POS. With POS approval, the remaining parent share of cost for bus transportation will be $125 one way and $250 round trip. If a Regional Center camper rides the bus for more than one event in the same month, the full bus transportation rate will apply to additional events.
Cancellation Policy:
Once your camper’s enrollment has been confirmed, you will have five days to notify us if you no longer wish for them to participate, without incurring a fee. Cancellations after that point will incur a fee of $250 for 1:1 supervision, and $150 for 1:3 supervision. Please see the COVID-19 exception to this policy, below.
COVID-19 Exception:
If your camper tests positive for or exhibits symptoms of COVID-19, or comes into contact with somebody who has tested positive, within ten days of their camp session, they will not be able to come to Camp. In this case, we will waive the cancellation fee and issue you a full refund, or work with you on getting your camper into a different camp session.
Cancellation Policy for Air Travel Trips:
Please note that once flights are booked, any cancellation will result in a cancellation fee equal to the full cost of the airfare. This is because airline tickets are non-transferable, and we’re unable to replace a cancelled camper with another participant once travel has been booked. Camper families are therefore responsible for covering airfare costs if a cancellation occurs after booking. We require a credit card on file to sign up for travel trips.
