Jump into the fun with our summer day camp, where campers can experience all the adventure and enjoyment of a Sierra Nevada Journeys program in a day camp setting. We offer seven weeks of STEM-based day camp programs for children ages 6-12 years old in Reno, NV.
Our team of talented educators and camp counselors lead campers through a combination of daily themed STEM activities, nature exploration, daily water play, and campers’ choice. In addition to traditional camp activities, each week of camp focuses on a specific theme. Our low camper-to-staff ratio and small groups allow for the perfect combination of group instruction and personal attention.
Join us for a summer full of fun, learning, and outdoor adventure!
