Camp Director, Camp Mendocino

In a few weeks, the first buses will roll into Camp, filled with excited kids and teens ready for a summer of exploration, connection, and unforgettable memories.

For over 90 years, Camp Mendocino has been a place where young people discover the magic of the outdoors, build new skills, and forge lifelong friendships.

From hiking under the redwoods to mastering our ropes course, from swimming in the Noyo River to mountain biking and archery lessons, every day at Camp Mendocino is packed with bold first steps and joyful moments that shape young people’s futures.

Check out our short video and hear directly from our campers!

And the best part? There’s still time to join the adventure! Spots are still available for upcoming sessions. If you know a young person who’s ready for discovery, connection, and growth—or a family looking for a transformative Camp experience—please share this opportunity with them.

For many kids, boarding the bus to camp is the bravest step of all. Feel free reach out to our dedicated Camp Team directly by email or phone (415) 757-6690 You can also check out our Frequently Asked Questions.

We are so excited to welcome our campers and to make this summer the most memorable yet!
