Overnight Summer Camps in California

Overnight summer camps in California can take advantage of the over the top weather with which the state is gifted. Unlike some parts of the country that really have to make up those rainy day schedules, California summer camps seem to be able to offer the optimum number of sunshine filled hours with mild temperatures thrown in for good measure. Kids find out quickly though that good weather is only a tip of the iceberg of fun they will experience at overnight summer camps in California.

Gold Arrow Camp, Sierra National Forest, California . Celebrating its 75 th year in operation in 2008, Gold Arrow Camp continues to stick to the script and offers a traditional overnight summer camp experience for boys and girls from ages 6-14 on Lake Huntington in California's Sierra National Forest. This has to be a nearly overpowering experience the first time around for any young person who all of a sudden finds themselves in the midst of so much natural beauty. Getting up every day in these surroundings only gets you in the mood for hours filled with all kinds of fun and exciting activities.

Gold Arrow Camp allows campers a chance to experience 20 different lake side and traditional camp activities. Kids can learn canoeing, kayaking and sailing as well as dry land activities like archery or ceramics. They will even find time and opportunity to be a bit more adventurous and attempt backpacking, horseback riding and a ropes course. Perhaps the best thing about Gold Arrow Camp is the chance to get away from the familiar computer or television and leave the daily routines behind. Enjoying a campfire, the magnificent surroundings and the company of few friends can really help kids to put their school year stress aside and simply have a great time. The only real mission claimed by Gold Arrow Camp is tor provide for the social and physical help of kids who come here.
