River Camp
For over 25 years, the River Parkway Trust has been offering an exciting, fun, and safe day camp experience for the Valley’s children at River Camp. Our lively and experienced staff of counselors, lifeguards, and visiting presenters will engage your children in activities that enhance their understanding of, and connection to, the San Joaquin River. Campers enjoy swimming and splashing in cool water, learning to canoe, exploring wildlife habitats, playing games, creating arts and crafts, and building new friendships during their week-long day camp experience.
Registration for River Camp Fall Foragers opens Friday, October 13th, 2023.
Registration for River Camp Firebaugh Winter Wonderland opens Wednesday, November 15th, 2023.
