Our traditional overnight camper weeks are the heart of our SJYC programs. During their 7-day, 6-night stay, campers ages 6 to 12 will make the best of friends while participating in various fun, traditional camp activities, including horseback riding, archery, and kayaking. Campers continue to learn and grow, exploring STEAM topics, outdoor education, and social-emotional development.
