Help send Oakland kids to Summer Camp!

Every kid deserves a chance to go to camp.

Every kid deserves to

  • swim in a mountain stream,
  • enjoy hearty, healthy, wholesome meals,
  • explore nature through hikes, adventure and discovery,
  • create arts and crafts, play music, perform skits,
  • experience the magic of campfires, storytelling, toasting marshmallows,
  • gaze at a night sky full of stars.


Oakland Feather River Camp changes lives, and forges lifelong friendships and community. You can make it happen for kids who simply otherwise would not get the chance. $50 sends an Oakland kid to camp for a night. $250 gets that kid a week in the mountains.
