Montecito Sequoia's Adventure Camp

Activities & Kid's Program

 

Montecito Sequoia's Adventure Camp is a great way to give your children an introduction to many great family camp activities, at a great value! 

 

Since our Adventure Camp weeks take place at the very beginning, and at the very end, of our Summer Camp season, the activities on offer are not quite as extensive as during our Family Camp.

 

However, our Adventure Week families seem to love the combination of counselor-led and self-guided activities, along with our Kids' Program, and Evening Activities, all at a great low all-inclusive price.

 

There are also many wonderful things to see and do off-site in the parks. Our staff will be happy to give you suggestions for an afternoon, or a full day, off-campus!  You may have trouble breaking away from our on-site activities, however.  (Some of our Adventure Week families choose to book an extra night at Montecito, à la carte, so that they have more time to explore the parks, without missing any Adventure Camp Activities.)

 

From spending a day in the Giant Forest, to hiking Moro Rock, exploring the Grant Tree Grove, visiting the General Sherman, Auto Log, Tunnel Tree, Crystal Cave, or exploring the many hiking trails...your vacation will fly by!  You may have to come back again to do it all!

 

 

Daytime Activities Overview

 

• There are four activity periods during the day - two in the morning (after breakfast); and two in the afternoon (after lunch), followed by an Evening Activity after dinner for the entire family.

• Every evening at dinnertime, you can pick up the next day's Daily Activity Schedule; except the night of your arrival, when you will receive it at the Welcome Meeting.

• Families eat meals together (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)

• Parents are responsible for their children, when they are not with their groups

Kids' Program

There are optional group programs for children ages 5 and up.  Each age group has its own animal mascot and is led by an experienced counselor.  Kids can have fun and make new friends, while adults can do the activities that interest them (or can read, relax, and/or explore the parks).  Children are not required to join the group programs. Remember, all of our activities at Montecito are free choice!  However, parents are responsible for supervising their children throughout their stay, when the children are not with their groups. 

 

Evening Activities

Evening Activities will change nightly, and may include campfires and s'mores, a game night (Montecito Trivia, or Jeopardy, or Family Board Games),  a coffee house performance night, or a family dance.  Guests are always encouraged to bring their own musical instruments and talents to join in on the evening fun!  Check the daily schedule at dinner the night before for the planned evening activity for the following night.
