Day Camp Activities

Activities take place at the spectacular 900 acre Lafayette Reservoir, with the exception of swimming and horseback riding which take place in nearby Moraga (a short 6-8 minute van shuttle from the reservoir). Campers are grouped by grade and participate as a camper group in a wide variety of traditional camp programs. We only offer four and eight week sessions to ensure that campers have the time to develop a strong group spirit and improve their personal skill in each program area.
