Mountain Meadow Ranch Summer Camp

A Legacy of Summer Adventures and Growth

Mountain Meadow Ranch, nestled amidst the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountains, has been a cherished summer tradition for generations. Founded in 1956, we're a family-owned and operated camp, offering a unique and unforgettable experience for young campers aged 7 to 16.

Connecting with Nature

We believe a connection to the natural world is crucial for childhood development. Our sprawling 900-acre ranch offers a playground teeming with life, providing ample opportunities to explore, discover, and develop a deep appreciation for the great outdoors. From hiking through meadows teeming with wildflowers to splashing in crystal-clear lakes, your child can experience the joy of discovery in a natural setting.

Learning and Growing

At Mountain Meadow Ranch, we foster a nurturing environment that promotes personal growth and development. Our experienced counselors guide and support campers through a variety of activities and challenges, fostering their creativity, leadership skills, and teamwork abilities. Our philosophy of "Serve-all, " embedded in the Maidu word "Aj Yepekanbe, " guides us in fostering character and building a strong sense of community.

Unplugging and Reconnecting

In our fast-paced world, Mountain Meadow Ranch offers a unique escape. We encourage campers to unplug from technology and truly immerse themselves in the moment.
