Sierra Nevada Journeys turns summer camp into a powerful, enriching experience as campers are immersed into outdoorS

Camps run from Sunday afternoon to Friday morning and are held at our Outdoor Education Camp, located near Portola, California — just 50 minutes north of Reno and 2 hours from Sacramento. Your camper will experience activities such as archery, kayaking, the challenge course, and sharing stories by the campfire.

In addition to the traditional summer camp activities, programming is also a special blend of social-emotional learning that is part of Sierra Nevada Journeys’ teaching pedagogy. Camp is a place for all youth to be individuals and we meet them “where they are” in their learning and experiences – a learner-centered environment to accommodate different paces and styles of learning and growing. We are an inclusive, innovative, and equity-focused community; you can learn more about our approach to equity and inclusion.

Summer of 2024, will be our 14th year of operating summer camps for youth. If you have any questions, feel free to call or email us, programs@sierranevadajourneys.org or 530-832-1085.
