Camp Registrations Open February 14, 2008

We have been in continuous operation for over 75 years serving children primarily from the Bay Area and children from all over the West Coast.  We offer five, 10-day sessions during the summer serving 200 campers per session ages eight to 14. Our campers learn respect for others and themselves while gaining character and leadership skills.  The camp is owned and operated by Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco, which serves 1,500 youth everyday in the summer at nine neighborhood based Clubhouses in San Francisco.

Camp Mendocino is nestled in the heart of the breathtaking redwood forest.  The historic "Skunk Train", a narrow gage steam railway passes through the center of camp delivering mail and sometimes campers to camp.

Camp Mendocino offers numerous outdoor programs including:

For the summer of 2007 we offered a Mountain Bike program for the very first time at Camp Mendocino, this was only possible through a donation of bikes and equipment by our friends at www.sportsbasement.com.

We also offer an elective program called 'Camper Choice' where campers have the option to choose their own activities to participate in.  These include activities listed above, plus the following:

Mendocino Leadership Institute.  A program for teens ages 15 to 17. This program is designed to prepare young adults for the workplace while having fun in the process. For additional information click on the 'Teen Programs' link.
