A leadership team member leads each overnight trip. Trips include cost of admission to activities, lodging, transportation and meals. Space is limited on all trips and registration is on a rolling basis. You may submit a separate check payable to Camp Sequoia for trip tuition (please note this on the check). Guidelines for additional spending money are listed below. Please note that trip dates as scheduled are subject to change (within the same session of camp) in case of forecast extreme inclement weather. Please note that, with the current global climate of uncertainty, our off campus trips will be limited this year (summer 2020). Please contact leadership for details.

Both Sessions, All Sequoia Campers

Rustic Retreat

Trip Tuition: $90

Join us for a day of adventures in the woods with opportunities to hike, canoe, go swimming, build a fire, cook a meal over the coals, roast marshmallows, look for wildlife and spend the evening around the campfire eating S’mores watching the stars and telling stories. Wake up to the smell of hot chocolate and breakfast. We will have field games, a hiking option and a morning activity as options before returning to camp. This was our most popular trip in 2019.
