Welcome to Bear Valley 

Summer Day Camp


Registration 2024 Now Open!

Outdoor Adventure Awaits

AGE GROUPS: Cubs 5 - 7 | Grizzlies 8 - 11 | Kodiak 12-14

The Bear Valley Summer Day Camp is a place for local and visiting kids ages 5 to 12 and up to explore, learn, create, and play in the high Sierra Nevada mountains. With an emphasis on outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, climbing, paddling, and mountain biking, we hope to share our love of the natural environment and all it has to offer. Other activities will include nature science, crafts, games, and so much more. 

Six Pillars of Character Counts

Our camp experience is woven with the core ethical values of Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. We create fun and memorable experiences to give examples of these values.
