Year Round Opportunities

Sponsor a Reunion Event

In addition to summer camp, we offer winter camp and several reunion events throughout the year.  Maintaining an active presence in the lives of our campers is essential to the strength of our program.  Examples of past and currently scheduled events include beach clean-up and paddle board/surfing lessons, self-esteem/spirit workshops, attending sporting events, educational field trips such as the California Science Center, team building exercises, and cultural activities, like attending theatre and dance productions.  For many of our campers, these activities create opportunities for fun and personal growth, but are also serve as “first time” experiences.
