Camp Tawonga

United States, San Francisco

Overview

Embarking on a journey of self-discovery, camaraderie, and adventure, Camp Tawonga, a co-ed residential camp, sits majestically on the fringes of the breathtaking Yosemite National Park, by the serene Tuolumne River. With a legacy dating back to 1925, this camp remains steadfast in its mission to nurture self-esteem, foster a sense of community, and instill an appreciation for nature. The camp's programs, seamlessly interwoven with positive Jewish identity, range from summer camp for children to weekend programs and even opportunities for teen leadership, travel, and service learning. The camp's philosophy is centered around group experiences, allowing counselors to pay attention to the individual journey of each camper and the dynamics of their bunk as a whole. Program specialists, adept in various fields, guide the diverse activities that Tawonga proudly offers. Each bunk's itinerary includes backpacking in Yosemite National Park or the neighboring Stanislaus National Forest and a day on the Challenge Course, integral programs that highlight Tawonga's group-centered philosophy. With a blend of general sports and swimming, every day at Camp Tawonga is an adventure waiting to happen. Here, children don't just learn to play; they play to learn, grow, and flourish.
