Transportation is provided through our buses. All vehicles are inspected and checked by licensed mechanics as well as the California Highway Patrol.
What do I need to send my camper with each day? We will supply the atmosphere for a great camp experience and ask that you send your camper with a lunch, at least 2 snacks, a water bottle and closed-toe shoes.
We recommend applying sunscreen before you get to camp and our camp staff will supply sunscreen to campers regularly throughout the day. During our afternoon extended care, we will provide a healthy snack for your kids after a long day of fun at camp!
Can you tell me more about camp fees and deposits? A $25 deposit is required for each week of camp. Deposits are non-refundable, non-transferable and are not subject to any discounts, promotions or financial assistance. Deposits are applied to the camp fee. Camp fees are the published rates in this brochure and are good up to the Monday before camp begins. Camp fees will increase $25 for registrations received Tuesday or later for the following week.
