☀️ Mornings

Yoga or a quiet nature walk, then breakfast. Kids 6 to 14 head off with program staff for archery, hikes and field games. Tot Lot takes potty-trained 2 to 5 year olds. Grown-ups pick crafts, tie-dye, horseback riding or a hike.

🌊 Afternoons

Family time. Swim in the swimming hole, tube down Spanish Creek, read at your tent, nap, finish an art project, or drive into Quincy for ice cream and a look around.

🔥 Evenings

Game nights, s'mores, ping-pong tournaments, line dancing, disco bingo and the weekly talent show. Then some of the darkest, starriest skies in California.
