More About Camp
Mountain Camp is a traditional resident camp experience on a beautiful high Sierra lake. The program is co-ed for children seven to fifteen. Our program works to provide a minimal technology outdoor experience designed to make each child "a winner". Campers enjoy a wide variety of activities, spending one and a half hours every day at each of our three instructional areas: waterfront, outdoor activities, and lodge activities. All areas contain many program activities including Ropes Course, Mountain Biking, Backpacking, Sailing, Arts and Crafts, Wind Surfing, Drama, Dance, Archery, Kayaking, Gymnastics, Fencing, Guitar, etc. Mountain Camp seeks to offer your child a well-balanced program of exciting activities and outdoor skills. We have always had a reputation of being a friendly, warm, accepting place where children find they feel quickly at home. Our goal is "to provide each boy and girl a high adventure, educational, life experience."
