Camp Woodcraft

Camp Woodcraft isn’t just another summer camp—it’s where kids discover who they can become!

Nestled in Big Bear Valley, we welcome children ages 7–13 into a community designed around one powerful idea: every child deserves to be truly seen, supported, and celebrated. While we offer all the activities and experiences you’d expect from a classic overnight summer camp, our focus is on building growth, confidence, resilience, and joy!

Camp Woodcraft is proudly American Camp Association (ACA)–accredited—meeting (and exceeding!) the nation’s highest standards for health, safety, staffing, and program quality—and our staff receives ongoing, industry-leading training. We are also radically inclusive by design. Our campground is ADA-compliant, and our counselors are trained to support neurodivergent campers and those with physical, sensory, or emotional needs.

Camp is run by an award-winning leadership team and staffed by a diverse and enthusiastic group of year-round, youth-development professionals. Our 6:1–8:1 camper-to-counselor ratio means no child gets lost in the crowd. Shy, anxious, or hesitant children quickly find their feet in this supportive, warm environment.

Our campers enjoy a wide range of activities, including archery, rock climbing, hiking, arts and crafts, group games, campfires, and time spent immersed in nature. Our thoughtfully designed campground balances comfort with adventure, featuring temperature-controlled cabins and modern restrooms and showers.

For summer sessions, transportation is available, with buses providing shuttle service to and from camp—making the experience even easier for families!

Families return year after year knowing their children leave camp not only with incredible memories, but with greater independence, stronger friendships, and a deeper connection to themselves and the natural world.
