Camp Augusta - Nevada City, California

Almost 10 year old twin boys had a great time at Camp Augusta's most recent two week session. Lots of great memories, crafts, and they loved the tons of choices each day.

It pushed their boundaries and gave them a sense of independence, and best of all, they want to go back!

I really enjoyed my experience here. There are so many activities to choose from daily. The food was absolutely delicious. Hats off to all the kitchen staff for providing such a varied menu over to many days.

I had so much fun learning how to use new machines to create glass beads and wooden items.

I loved the self reliance and responsibility aspect they promote where everyone is responsible for taking dishes to the cleaning area, taking your own towels and water bottles.

Be prepared to turn off your electronics and connect with others!

I've been going to this camp for 6 years. It has been such a life changing experience for me. Ive tried things I never thought I would've done, conquered fears, and met many friends. The staff there are so amazing and fun to be around, and the counselors treat you more as a friend than a kid they're paid to watch. I think that the staff at a camp can really make or break the experience so I really value this camp over others. Also, there are an abundance of activities. Some of my favorites over the years are throwing range (spear, axe, and knife throwing,) aerial silks, stilt walking, and candle making. I personally am not a huge fan of the outdoors and not having my phone with me but Camp Augusta makes me forget all about that. The only downsides are the Covid testing policy (I tested positive and everyone in the car got sent home, not just my mom and I. Keep in mind this was at 7pm in the middle of the forest,) and the mosquitoes, but the camp is great enough to overrule those things. I highly recommend this camp.

The magic of Camp Augusta for our kid is the amount of choice offered. There are such a variety of fun options that allow different kids to craft the camp experience that best fits their energy, interests, and moods. It reinforces the themes respect for self and others. Our kid went to Camp Augusta for the first time at age 12 & had a blast, and wanted to return every summer since then.

My son just completed his 6th consecutive year at Camp Augusta, he will be 15 years old when he attends his 7th season in 2022. Now, my daughter will be commencing her first year in 2022 and she is overly excited! My son loves to game and enlist technology in general when he is not playing basketball or football for his school. The week away at camp returns his mind and soul to the roots of being a kid and embracing the outdoors through an experience that I can say is unequivocal to any other. The staff, the other campers, the location and the various elements that support the camp activities are all just amazing. The smile and full heart my son returns with says it all for me. Camp Augusta is truly a magical place!
