Sleepaway and Overnight Summer Camps
Summer Camp Should be Awesome
Pali Adventures is a one-of-a-kind overnight summer camp for kids ages 8-16, in Southern California near Los Angeles. The Pali experience is unique: campers choose a camp activity focus for their mornings and all of their own afternoon fun for a personalized adventure.
Our campers follow their dreams, try incredible new things and gain lifelong friends in a safe and supportive environment. Send your child to the place where they will grow, feel successful and return home saying, “Pali is the best camp ever!”
Location
Nestled in the Mountains of Southern California, just 90 minutes from Los Angeles, Pali Adventures is tucked away in the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains. Our peaceful mountain campus offers the perfect balance of adventure and safety – surrounded by towering pines, crisp air, and endless opportunities for kids to explore, grow, and have fun.
Campers
We welcome campers ages 8 – 16, offering age-appropriate programs that balance independence with the right level of guidance. Juniors (8–12) enjoy a nurturing environment where counselors help them build confidence, try new activities, and make friends with ease. Seniors (13–16) get more freedom to design their own schedule, dive deeper into their chosen specialties, and take on leadership roles around camp.
While Juniors and Seniors have separate cabins and activity groups to ensure comfort and safety, the camp itself is co-ed and community-focused – bringing everyone together for camp-wide games, evening events, and unforgettable shared adventures.
Dates & Enrollment 2026
For 2026, one‑week sessions run from June 7 through August 9 (nine sessions). Campers may stay multiple weeks and choose new specialties each week.
Staff & Safety
Parents need to know that their children are safe. ACA Accredi-
tation ensures that we’ve addressed safety aspects of every
part of Pali Adventures.
The camp promotes a staff-to-camper ratio better than 3-to-1
and an average staff age of 23 years old. Staff undergo extensi-
ve training in first aid, CPR, homesickness and emergency pro-
cedures
Accreditations
Pali Adventures takes responsibility for your child’s care very se-
riously. The American Camp Association (ACA) offers a compre-
hensive camp-focused accreditation that is a parent’s best eviden-
ce of a camp’s commitment to health and safety.
ACA accreditation means that we voluntarily undergo a thorough
third-party review of our operation, verifying that we have complied
with 250+ standards for health, safety, and program quality. Accre-
ditation standards cover all aspects of camp operation such as
foodservice, healthcare, emergency procedures, transportation,
management, waterfront activities, safety equipment, staff qualifi-
cations , and training. We choose to be accredited so that we can
provide your child with the safest camp environment possible.
The Western Association of Independent Camps (WAIC) is
a professional organization of camps in the US that are de-
dicated to providing campers and staff excellent camp expe-
riences and personal growth opportunities in a caring, fun,
and friendly environment.
Each WAIC camp is unique in its location, program, and
culture. All WAIC camps are accredited by the American
Camp Association (ACA) and maintain best practices in the
camp industry.
Accreditation educates camp owners and directors in admi-
nistering key aspects of camp operation, particularly those

pers and staff.
The camp’s voluntary participation in the ACA’s professional

My kid has gone for two summers now and absolutely raves about how much he loves it. The staff there is always friendly, welcoming and helpful to us parents that have lots of questions. From the admin staff that even invited us to come tour the camp last year before we had signed up for a summer session, to the wellness center staff that helped us with medical questions – everyone there is top tier. Highly recommend Camp Pali Adventures to anyone looking for a safe & fun sleep away camp in the SoCal area.

My daughter attended Pali for one week in 2025 summer. She’s 10 years old and this was her first time away from Family. She had so much fun! She’s been talking about it non stop since getting home. She made great friends, enjoyed the electives (especially magic!) and made lots of nice art projects in the fine arts elective. Next year she’s asking to do two weeks.

This camp does it right! This was our first time and we will definitely send our daughter again. Pali Adventures is super organized, from transportation, checking in, meal time and plenty of fun time! They have very good communication. My daughter came home saying they had the best time of her life!
Chrissi Bennett
My children have been attending Pali every summer since 2009 and we have never missed a year! Visiting Pali is one of their favorite experiences each and every summer. They have a welcoming place to express themselves, explore their creativity, support one other, strengthen their self-esteem and confidence while working through obstacles and making lifelong friends. Highly recommend!
