Dear Trailside Families, 

It is with great enthusiasm and passion that I share our vision for this year's camps and opportunities.

One of the cornerstones of our camp program is outdoor environmental education. We are committed to instilling in our campers a sense of responsibility for the world around them and nurturing their connection to nature. Through a range of exciting activities, we aim to teach them about the importance of sustainability, conservation, and the interdependence of all living things. Our dedicated and knowledgeable staff will guide them through these experiences, providing not only valuable lessons but also a sense of wonder and curiosity that will stay with them for a lifetime.

We place immense value on our camp community. Our campers will have the chance to build friendships that will last a lifetime, fostering a sense of belonging and personal growth. We are dedicated to creating a warm, inclusive, and supportive environment where every camper feels valued and appreciated.

See you on the trail, 

Cindy Tapia-Ruiz | Camp Director
