Unplug. Explore. Connect. Give your child a week under 2,000-year-old trees at Portola Redwoods, where campers trace the journey of water from "River to Sea" in a hands-on, curiosity-driven setting. Highlights include Junior Scientist Skills—using professional gear to test creek water and mastering navigation with real USGS maps—plus Ranger Insights from State Park Rangers who teach wildlife tracking and forest secrets. Team Building activities foster lasting friendships through collaborative challenges designed for all learning styles. After-dark traditions add magic: the Sign Competition for hand-made site markers, nightly campfire stories with s’mores and ranger chats, and starlit hikes that build outdoor confidence. The mission: your camper will return home with more than memories—they’ll bring back new friends, leadership skills, and a passion for protecting our watersheds.
