Thank you for the best summers of my child hood. From way up on girls hill top, in 1994, to finally getting to CIT camp in 2003. Camp Natoma was the perfect summer haven. From fort building contests, and polar bear swims, to kybo jokes(IYKYK), and campfire songs. Camp natoma was the ultimate camp. ❤️ If I had kids they would be 3rd gen campfire kids, and would definitely be going to Camp Natoma!

It's hard to let your kids go, but Camp Natoma is the best place to do so safely and ensure they have a wonderful and magical time. Nothing compares to sleeping under the stars, hiking, swimming, crafting, playing games, singing, teamwork and smores over a campfire. My youngest found a new level of independence and made great friends. My oldest got to sharpen their skills as a counselor in training and made great connections. Upon pickup both immediately asked to go again. We look forward to more camp adventures at Camp Natoma.
