We believe every child has it within them to succeed. Camp Sequoia Lake's mission and core beliefs fuel our commitment to promoting safe, positive, and inclusive environments for all. Camp Sequoia Lake supports all youth and teens – of every race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability, socio-economic status, and religion – in reaching their full potential.
We know the world is full of challenges. Camp Sequoia Lake will help your child develop the skills to face those challenges head-on. Whether it is the importance of teamwork, honesty, communication, or setting achievable goals, Camp Sequoia Lake will invest the best skills into your child's heart and mind.
Camp Sequoia Lake has shaped many young people into successful adults, all of whom recognize the importance of the camp during their formative years. While we are not focused on teaching your child to kick a soccer ball further or swim faster, Camp Sequoia will help teach your child about being a healthy, well-rounded individual who lives their life with compassion, respect, and a love for the outdoors. We focus on team skills and interpersonal communication. Our caring and enthusiastic counselors manage various creative programs for campers in the 3rd through 12th grades. Our activities and offerings are fun, challenging, and accepting of everyone's abilities. Our staff takes great pride in providing campers a loving, safe, and welcoming environment.
Many of the summer camp programs you will find have an average staff age of 15 or 16; in contrast, our staff has an average age of 21. Having an older team ensures that a responsible adult constantly supervises your children. Each staff member undergoes a Department of Justice background check and is fingerprinted. The vast majority of our staff are former campers themselves. Why do people keep returning to volunteer? Our staff returns because Camp Sequoia Lake has profoundly impacted their lives, and they want to give back.
