Come to Camp
The Camp
Camp Aranzazu is a host facility, which means that we work with dozens of partners to fulfill our mission. These healthcare organizations, schools, and other not-for-profit groups are responsible for recruiting the campers and any medical and other support staff that may be needed. They also provide the counselors who sleep in the cabins with the campers at night.
Camp Aranzazu’s experienced and knowledgeable staff is responsible for organizing and supervising all activities, providing snacks and meals (which can be tailored to meet any special dietary needs), air-conditioned cabins for all campers and staff, and access to our Health Center.
If you’re interested in bringing a group of children or adults to camp, click below to find out more and to submit an inquiry. You will find even more information in the camp brochure.
If you are the parent, relative or friend of a child or adult whom you are interested in having attend camp, please review our partner list to find an appropriate camp and then contact the partner directly. You also can organize your own camp, which is how many of our current camps started.
Please reach out to Amelia Smith (amelia@camparanzazu.org) if you need assistance. We look forward to getting to know your camper(s), providing them with an amazing camping experience on the Coast, and helping them connect with others who face similar challenges.
As we continue to monitor and adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will take every precaution and will follow the guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and the American Camp Association, as well as other highly respected resources.
You will find more general information about COVID-19 camp protocols and guidance in the ACA's Field Guide for Camps. Camp Aranzazu's most up-to-date COVID-19 protocols and procedures can be found here.
