High above the stress and chatter of our plugged-in and fast-paced world, a different kind of a summer camp experience awaits your child: a Christian Adventure Camp where kids spend two weeks having the time of their lives, feeling perfectly at home away from home, and grow in character, skills, relationships, and faith. Welcome to Yosemite Sierra Summer Camp.
We create an environment where kids grow the skills they’ll lean on throughout the coming year– and their lives in the years beyond. We aspire to create more than a place to get away, but a formative experience that empowers your child to become their best selves, navigate our complex world, and discover God’s love and voice in their lives in a personal way. The real impact of a youth camp is children growing skills that last a lifetime.
Yosemite Sierra Summer Camp program and outcomes center on our two-week long sessions. Organized into cabin groups of one counselor and up to 7 campers of similar age, children participate in developmentally appropriate activities. Among the many activities that await your child at YSSC, some of the most memorable are the simplest bonding experiences where our trained counselors encourage kids to embrace the joys of life: face painting, costumes, defeating the “pirates” who stole their treasure, and running through forests trying to capture the other team’s flag. These are the magical moments that have become lifetime memories for generations of YSSC since 1973.
Our campers don’t just come away from this California Youth Camp with amazing memories and scenic photos. They also gain and build skills that will help them mature into their true identity.
