Adventure Awaits at Reno Summer Day Camp
Summer Day Camp in Reno, NV
Registration for 2027 will open on Friday, Dec. 12, 2026.
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 nine weeks of STEM-based day camp programs for children ages 5-12 years old, children entering kindergarten in the fall of 2027. (Must be potty-trained).
Camp is held at Rosewood Nature Area, located in southeast Reno off of Veterans Parkway. While many activities take place outdoors under shaded pergolas, we also have access to indoor spaces when weather or air quality makes it unsafe or uncomfortable to be outside.
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!
Nine Weeks of Summer Fun
Low camper-to-counselor ratio and group sizes are capped at 36 campers per week.
