Where else can you join a band of superheroes, perform a song about purple lasagna (and get a standing ovation), tie-dye your socks, make new friends, play with clay, learn about bugs, and jump in a beautiful river… all in the same day? Days at camp are full of fun, laughter, friends, food, and choices. We do lots of things together – eating meals, playing all-camp games, singing, going to Mel’s Pond. There’s also times when you get to decide what you want to do – which activity you want to sign up for, which game you want to play, or what you want to do during free time. Other special events we do at camp include Variety Show Night, dance parties, Jugs (Capture the Flag with some Woolman twists), and BBQs. It doesn’t matter who you are at school or where you are from, at camp the only person you have to impress is yourself! Every Wombat Camp and TLC session features a wilderness backpacking trip. These fun day trips & 3-day / 2-night adventures are led by our experienced staff. Campers often say it was the highlight of their time at camp. Your counselors will lead you in hiking, swimming, camping, making art, learning about nature, and becoming great friends. These trips are wonderful for people who are new to backpacking as well as seasoned hikers. Campers go to destinations such as the famous Pacific Crest Trail, The South Yuba River, Grouse Ridge, Desolation Wilderness, and the amazing Sierra Buttes. Experience sleeping under the stars, hiking through beautiful places, backcountry cooking, and learning about the ecosystems and history of our surrounding wilderness. A new feature in 2023, one Wombat Camp session and one TLC session will enjoy a 2-day river rafting trip on the American River, led by a local river outfitter. These sessions are great for campers interested in pushing their boundaries, exploring the outdoors and seeing all the beauty that the Sierra Foothills has to offer!
