Featured Activities
At Bear Valley Summer Day Camp our mission is to provide opportunities for children to learn and grow in the high sierra mountain playground. We utilize a values-based curriculum with outdoor activities and educational experiences to nurture a lifetime of healthy choices and self-confidence, while respecting and protecting the great outdoors.
We incorporate Character Counts curriculum ideas into our daily activities to keep an emphasis on our core values, merging social-emotional development in outdoor classroom of fun.
We build our camp activities around our stunning environment. You name it, we do it. With nearby mountain lakes, boulders, rivers, trails, and trees… all is possible.
