California Summer Camps - Shaffer's High Sierra Summer Camps
"Our 11 year old had a fabulous experience at camp. She made friends and shared new experiences like the ropes course and whitewater rafting that she continues to be excited about. We look forward to next year!" - Vicki Rinne (parent), Davis, CA
Other Activities
In addition to the listed activities, you'll enjoy a number of other activities
including Disc Golf, Board Games, Card Games, Treasure Hunts, Gold Panning,
Shelter Building, Table Tennis, and Air Hockey.
Our exceptional and multitalented staff bring new ideas, activities, and games to Camp each year, so no two years are exactly the same. For example, in past years we have featured juggling, yoga, and poi.
Quote of the Day:
"There is nothing—-absolutely nothing—-half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." – Kenneth Grahame
