2026 summer camps

Experience adventure and hands-on learning at Regional Parks summer camps, which include Discovery, Junior Lifeguard, Nature Explorers and Junior Rangers.

Discovery camps offer a fun mix of games, arts and crafts, outdoor recreation, journaling and more. Junior Lifeguard camps focus on aquatic recreation, games and team building while introducing the basics of lifeguarding. Nature Explorers and Junior Rangers are two- and three-day, skill-based camps along the Russian River, where campers build outdoor skills like survival basics, animal tracking and connecting with the natural world. 

Children can be registered for one camp within each camp series, but registration for multiple camps within a camp series will not be honored.

Financial assistance

Partial camp scholarships, generously funded by the Sonoma County Parks Foundation, cover 75% of the cost of camp registration for families with need. They are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis while funding lasts. Eligibility is determined by any of the following criteria

  • Cal Fresh enrollment
  • Cal Works or General Assistance recipient
  • Disability of parent or child
  • Free or reduced meal recipient
  • Current foster youth
  • Recently displaced

If you register and pay for camp before your scholarship is approved, you will receive a refund later for 75% of the camp registration fee.  

If the camp you are interested in is full, additional spaces may be available for scholarship recipients. To request a space and financial assistance for a sold-out camp, please fill out the partial scholarship application and one of our team members will contact you with more details.  

Refunds

Refunds, minus the non-refundable $50 registration fee, will only be given if reservation is canceled at least two weeks before camp begins.
