• Ages: 7–16 years old
Summer after summer for fifty-nine years, River Way Ranch Camp has provided outdoor experiences and innovative learning opportunities for children ages 7–16. The camp uses age-progressive programs, with Buckaroos as the youngest campers, many of whom are experiencing summer camp for the first time. Rancheros are encouraged to develop skills in activities of their choice and are able to design their own schedules while strengthening their friendship skills, and senior campers have the chance to participate in special “Senior Only” activities.
River Way Ranch Camp runs a Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program that has established a reputation for being one of the finest counselor training programs in California. CITs learn to work with children, participate in workshops that foster teamwork, and build organizational skills. Highly trained staff encourage and guide campers to experience everything camp has to offer, and River Way Ranch Camp maintains a year-round management staff that is trained to answer questions about attending summer camp.
Parent and camper feedback includes comments such as, “Our son had a wonderful time at River Way and told us he would have stayed longer! We are incredibly grateful to the camp!” from a camp parent, and “When he returns home, my son always says that it has been the best weeks of his life. River Way has marked his childhood,” from Shauna L., a camp parent. A camper named Gabe, a 4-year camper, shared, “River Way is just the best. It's fun, the counselors are nice and funny, and I make so many new friends!”
