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!)
