This Summer’s Best Camp Mendocino Moments
Camp Mendocino is an outdoor education and environmental awareness program focused on the character and leadership development of kids from disadvantaged circumstances. For seven weeks each summer, Camp Mendocino provides a space for hundreds of kids to learn about nature, make new friends and create memories that last a lifetime. Take a look at the impact we made with our outstanding programming:
1092 total participants over five Camp sessions
621 returning campers
69 teens built stronger character through our Leaders-in-Training program
19,795 hours of community service completed by campers (more than 18 hours per-camper!)
Below, we’ve gathered some of our favorite memories from this past summer. If you’ve got others you’d like to share, be sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
With another memorable summer at Camp Mendocino in the books, we’d like to thank all the youth who joined us and staff who made a difference.
