Day Camp at Roughing It
Experience the Roughing It Difference!
After a full school year, what better way to spend the summer than
in the great outdoors! Fishing. Boating. Canoeing. Hiking. Swimming. Horseback riding. Exploring for secret forts. Playing
sports and games. Doing arts and crafts. Singing camp songs, putting on original skits. Children of all ages delight in these traditional
camp activities that form the foundation of Roughing It.
A Beautiful Outdoor, Lakefront Site
Roughing It is ideally located for the many outdoor adventures your child will enjoy. 900 acres in the
beautiful Lafayette reservoir recreation area - and nearby swimming and equestrian sites
- offer a fun, educational environment where children learn, explore, grow and
make many new friends. Exercise and fresh air are abundant.
"Roughing It has become a family tradition for us"

Philosophy, Experience and Family Tradition
Roughing It is a
place where children and teens are encouraged to be themselves in a fun and
nurturing atmosphere of discovery.
Year round, Roughing It offers a variety of programs to provide quality
educational and recreational outdoor experiences for children ages 4 1/2 – 16
years of age. A high percentage of summer campers return annually and many of our staff were
former Roughing It campers.
Founded in 1972, Roughing It is owned and personally directed
by Hobie and Ann Woods who have over 60 years of combined experience in
organized summer camps and youth leadership. Roughing It is a family tradition
for the Woods and thousands of families in the Bay Area. Daughter Amy Woods is
currently Assistant Director and has been a camp administrator at Roughing It
for ten years; Katey Woods has
been on staff and is currently a school counselor. The Woods work full time throughout the year at Roughing It
and are available at all times to speak with camper families.
