Campers will experience a break from the digital world with time-worn traditions of camping in the Sierra Nevada as kids canoe, kayak, go crawdad fishing, hiking, swim, play volleyball, do arts & crafts including creating their own tie-dyed t-shirt, practicing archery, and having fun at the beach around majestic Lake Tahoe, not to mention enjoying the magic of story-time around the campfire under the starry night sky. Boundless days of activity and exploration await your youth 9-13 years at Camp Concord where memories are made to last a lifetime.
