Sonoma County Regional Parks Summer Camps

Santa Rosa

Sonoma County Regional Parks runs summer camps throughout the park system - Spring Lake, Doran Beach, Ragle Ranch, and others. The big draw: camperships can cover up to 75% of costs, making these some of the most affordable nature camps in the county.

The Affordability Advantage

Camperships cover up to 75% of camp costs through the Regional Parks Foundation. If cost is a barrier to summer camp, start here.

Camp Locations

Camps happen at different parks, so your kid gets to explore various environments:

  • Spring Lake
  • Doran Beach
  • Ragle Ranch
  • And other Regional Parks properties

What Kids Do

  • Hands-on outdoor education
  • Nature exploration and discovery
  • Hiking and outdoor skills
  • Environmental awareness
  • Park-specific activities (beach camps, lake camps, etc.)

How to Register

  • Check the Regional Parks website in spring for current offerings
  • Registration typically opens late winter/early spring

  • Don’t assume you won’t qualify - apply anyway
