Camp Sacramento

open_in_full

Camp Sacramento nestled in Eldorado Nation Forest just 17 miles from South Lake Tahoe has been a cherished place for generations of Sacramento Valley residents. From its inception over 100 years ago, Camp Sacramento’s historic “return to nature” focus has offered a unique family getaway experience for participants of all ages to reflect, reconnect, and refresh. What started as an effort to reintroduce and reintegrate the urban population back into the natural environment, continued through the decades of camp service to unplug, celebrate the natural environment, and enjoy the fellowship and comradery of a camp community. Today, our programs not only offer fun and engaging one-of-a-kind family getaways to unwind, but also allow for intentional environmental education and stewardship opportunities.

Camp News

Camp Sacramento is proud to announce two new sessions for the summer of 2025! We are working hard to fit as much fun as we can into those warm summer months, so we will be offering a new BONUS SUMMER SESSION (8/4-8/7/2025) alongside the return of an old favorite, SENIOR WEEK (8/18-8/21/2025). But what are these new sessions all about??

Bonus Summer Session

BONUS SUMMER SESSION 2025 is a session designed for people that want to experience Camp Sacramento but have been unable for any number of reasons. To qualify for the Bonus Summer Session, you cannot have an active 2025 Camp Sacramento reservation, and cabins cannot be rebooked for 2026.

Registration for Bonus Summer Session 2025 begins online through UltraCamp on 4/9/2025 @ 12pm.

How: At 12pm on 4/9/2025, Login to your UltraCamp Account, follow links to “Make a Reservation”, select “Bonus Summer Session 2025”, follow prompts to complete your order.

Senior Week

SENIOR WEEK 2025 is a session designed around providing good times in the great outdoors to people who are 50 years old. To qualify for Senior Week 2025, you must meet minimum age requirements (minimum 50 years of age).

Registration for Senior Week 2025 begins via email on 5/1/2025 @12pm (requests received after 12pm will be the only ones considered).

How: After 12pm on 5/1/2025, send an email to CampSacramento@CityOfSacramento.org to let us know you want a Cabin in Senior Week 2025. Please also list any accommodation needed and let us know if you are interested in sharing a cabin with a friend!

All cabins in these sessions will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. A non-refundable deposit of $100 is due at the time of the reservation and will be subtracted from your total balance due.
Waitlists will become available for both sessions via email as soon as all spaces are filled. If no more spaces are available, send an email to CampSacramento@CityOfSacramento.org to let us know which waitlist you would like to be on.

Don't Miss an Update

With spring upon us, summer is just around the corner… and so is CAMP! We will be sending out plenty of updates via email (payment reminders, theme announcements, etc.), so if you have a reservation, please make sure those are not being marked as spam/junk to ensure you don’t miss a beat.

2025 Camp Theme

2025 Theme information: Coming Soon!

What does this mean for Campers?

The theme is just an extra way for Campers to come together and show Camp Sac spirit. Decorate your cabin with theme-based decorations for the decorating contest, wear theme-based pajamas to the Pajama-Rama breakfast, and dress up in costume for some added fun at the Camp Sac Dance. Some activities, like the Dutch Auction, might also have objects related to the theme, and our music choices at certain events might also be influenced. The most important part: Have fun with it!
