Safety is our main priority and we will continue to follow all San Mateo County and state of California guidelines. Trained leaders will conduct health screenings and wellness checks with each camper daily. Campers will remain with the same leaders for entire session and will not commingle with other groups. Individual supply kits will be distributed.

A camp FAQ sheet will be provided to all registered participants via email before the first day of camp with additional details.
