Walton's Grizzly Lodge Summer Camp

Walton's Grizzly Lodge has been igniting a passion for summer adventures in children for almost a century. Founded in 1926, our camp is nestled in the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountains of Northern California, creating a stunning backdrop for unforgettable memories. Our mission is to provide a unique and enriching summer experience for children ages 7 to 15, fostering a sense of independence, confidence, and lifelong friendships.

A Legacy of Excellence

Operated by the fourth generation of the Walton family, our camp carries a rich history and unwavering commitment to quality. We've seen generations of campers return year after year, drawn to the same values that have made Walton's a cherished tradition: family, fun, and friendship. Our dedicated staff is comprised of experienced professionals who are passionate about providing an engaging and nurturing environment for campers. Their expertise ensures that every child feels safe, supported, and empowered to explore their fullest potential.

An Active and Engaging Summer

At Walton's, summer days are filled with a vibrant array of activities designed to spark every child's imagination and interests. Our private lake is the heart of the camp, serving as the setting for an exciting range of water sports, including swimming, boating, waterskiing, and paddle boarding. For those seeking land-based adventures, we offer an impressive selection of activities like horseback riding, archery, crafts, athletics, and challenges on our extensive ropes course. Our high ropes course features a thrilling 500-foot zip line, allowing campers to conquer their fears and soar across the lake.

A Focus on Growth and Development

Beyond traditional camp activities, Walton's goes above and beyond to cultivate personal growth and leadership skills. Our Camper In Leadership Training Program provides opportunities for older campers to develop essential skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, empowering them to take on leadership roles within the camp community.

A Tradition of Adventure

We believe that summer camp should be a time for exploration, adventure, and making lifelong memories. That's why we also plan engaging special events and exciting out-of-camp trips throughout the summer.

From bonfires under the stars to day trips to national parks, these experiences allow campers to step outside their comfort zone, connect with nature, and forge unforgettable bonds with their fellow campers.

Our comprehensive programs, dedicated staff, and commitment to positive experiences ensure that every summer at Walton's Grizzly Lodge is truly one-of-a-kind.
