The coastal temperatures are variable. It is recommended that campers wear layers and all should wear sturdy footwear. No open toe shoes are permitted. All campers will receive a Summer Adventure Sweatshirt that serves as the camp uniform!

How are campers transported to field trips?

Camper parents and guardians are responsible for transporting children to and from field trip locations.

Are meals provided?

Campers must bring nourishing, full lunch boxes to give them lots of energy throughout the full day of camp.

Why has the cost increased from last year?

Due to rising costs of labor, field trips, and operations, fees have been increased modestly. Session 1 and Session 2 (2 weeks) are $600. Session 3 (one week) is $300.

What if my child has an appointment during camp?

Best efforts will be made to accommodate an unavoidable need to arrive or leave early. However, we encourage parents to make appointments outside of camp hours or dates other than their session as this impacts the entire group.

Where can I get more information?

Contact program director, Ashley Wemp: ashley.wemp@parks.ca.gov

Are all campers together the entire day?

Campers are divided into 4 groups of ~10 kids per counselor. There are opportunities for groups to interact throughout the day. Field trips are primarily big group days. We do our best to put campers of similar age and maturity together for compatibility. Requests will be considered.
