 What is Gold Arrow Camp?

Gold Arrow Camp is a traditional overnight children’s summer camp for boys and girls ages 6-14 who need and deserve a break from the pressure to grow up too fast and excel in everything that permeates our competitive society.

Why do people choose Gold Arrow Camp for their children?

Campers gain valuable life skills from their experiences at camp. The independence, perseverance, and confidence they build at camp benefit them beyond camp in all areas of their lives. Through their participation in our structured program of over 20 different non-competitive watersports and traditional camp activities, campers are encouraged to try new things, build their skills, and take risks. The result is improved confidence and a “can do” attitude.

In our beautiful setting on Huntington Lake, in the heart of the Sierra National Forest, campers have a chance to enjoy a traditional outdoor camp, complete with rustic living and nightly campfires. The break from television, computers, telephones, and other electronics is one of the things that makes their time at camp so special. Campers have a chance to bond with others, build their social skills, and have fun just being a kid.

 
How long has Gold Arrow Camp been around?

Since 1933, campers and staff have returned to camp year after year because of the feeling of tradition, community, and belonging that they experience at Gold Arrow Camp. For many campers, their time at camp is what they look forward to all year long. The fun and the friendships that are built at GAC provide life-long memories for our campers.
