Welcome to Family Camp!
Join us every July in the breathtaking Mendocino Woodlands for a one-of-a-kind, all-ages UU summer camp experience. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned camper, you’ll find something to love in this week-long gathering of community, creativity, and connection. Campers can register for either the first or second week of Family Camp, with approximately 120 attendees per week.
What Can You Expect?
Spend your days immersed in nature and community. Choose from a variety of activities, such as:
- Participating in diverse workshops like beading, beer making, tie-dye and more.
- Hiking redwood-shaded trails or sunbathing by the river.
- Singing (on key or off!), playing music, or sharing your favorite games and crafts.
- Enjoying meaningful conversations with new and old friends alike.
- Supervised playtime support, crafts, and recreation activities, for the littlest youth in the mornings and afternoons.
- Physical challenges, special hikes, games, and peer group activities for teens.
- Eccentric spiritual or philosophical morning worship services from volunteer community chaplains.
- Dancing, costume parties, karaoke, and a talent show in the evenings.
Lodging and Facilities
Sleep under the canopy of majestic redwoods in rustic cabins with screen windows. Each cabin area has its own bathroom facilities, while a shared shower house offers hot water and electricity. Meals and most activities take place around the Dining Hall, a cozy, well-lit space perfect for gatherings, especially in the evenings.
Please note: The historic Mendocino Woodlands may pose accessibility challenges for some individuals with physical disabilities. If you have concerns or questions about accessibility, please reach out to the camp deans at deans(at)ncuucc.org.
Dining at Camp
Breakfast, lunches and dinners are lovingly prepared by our volunteer kitchen staff. Meals feature fresh, mostly organic ingredients, served family-style with options to suit a range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. A light afternoon snack and evening dessert is also provided daily!
Ways to Participate
Family Camp thrives because of its campers. Every attendee contributes light chores and helps foster our vibrant community. Interested in taking a larger role? Staff members help create the magic of camp while enjoying the experience as campers themselves.
