Tahoe Summer Camps

Tahoe Summer Camps offers activities that include whitewater rafting, backpacking, rock climbing, scrambling and climbing, sailing, visual arts, performing arts, art and adventure, pure sports, primitive skills, and other hands-on experiences. Campers may backpack in Desolation Wilderness, whitewater raft the American River, sail on Lake Tahoe, scramble and climb at Donner Summit, and travel south to crags and climbs along the Eastern Sierra. The program includes options where campers take on roles such as adventurers, blacksmiths, sailors, engineers, and scientists.

Tahoe Summer Camps is operated by Tahoe Expedition Academy. Tahoe Summer Camps uses professional educators, artists, makers, climbers, wilderness experts, and pro-athletes as guides. The leadership team includes Eric Martin, Tahoe Summer Camps Director, and Liam Nigro, Tahoe Summer Camps Supervisor. One parent shared that their child enjoyed backpacking in Desolation Wilderness with Tahoe Summer Camps' expert backcountry guides and is looking forward to an Advanced Backpacking Trip.
