Sierra Friends Camp Trips

Go ahead, have the time of your life

Sierra Friends Camp stands out from other camps because every single one of our campers gets to go on overnight trips! These fun, 2-day adventures are lead by our experienced staff, and campers often say it was the highlight of their time at camp.

For the first week of camp you'll go out on a trip with your cabin-mates and others from your age-group. You'll have fun together hiking, swimming, camping, making art, learning about nature, and becoming great friends. These trips are great for people who are new to backpacking as well as seasoned hikers, and go to such destinations as the famous South Yuba Trail and in the amazing Sierra Buttes.  Campers experience sleeping under the stars, hiking through beautiful places, backcountry cooking, and learn about the ecosystems they are a part of.

If you're here for a two-week session, there is a second trip that you get to choose! The options for the trip are held in secrecy by the staff until right before the trip and the unveiling is something the campers look forward to each summer. In the past these trips have included movie making, local farms, river art, scenic hiking, and always adventure.
