Experience the ultimate mountain getaway with our 8-day Sierra Nevada summer camp session, leaving from Chico, CA. Our base camp is nestled in the historic Plumas-Eureka State Park, our campers trade screens for stars in one of California’s most breathtaking landscapes.
This session is designed for explorers aged 9-15 who want to go higher and further. Our days are packed with high-altitude adventures in the glorious lake basin of the northern Sierra Nevada. Our activites include climbing The Sierra Buttes for panoramic views, visiting Salmon Lake for refreshing swims and cliff jumping, and visiting the local museum to learn about the history of gold extraction. From our basecamp near the historic Jamison Mine, campers will engage in:
Wilderness Skills: Learning to start and build fires, navigation, and leave-no-trace ethics.
Summit Hikes: Challenging treks to local peaks and scenic overlooks.
Lake Days: Swimming, exploring, and nature study at pristine Sierra lakes.
Crafts: Archery, woodworking, linoleum cutting, ring making, t-shirt printing, and more.
Campfire Traditions: Songs, S'mores, and stargazing under the dark Sierra sky.
