Summer Camps Serving Alameda

For over 45 years, Roughing It has been offering summer camps in an outdoor environment for kids and teens ages 4 to 16. We serve many Alameda families and are located nearby at the beautiful Lafayette Reservoir.

Our campers have the summer of their lives learning and mastering skills in swimming, fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, sports, crafts, outdoor cooking, and more! We also have programs specifically designed for teens and younger campers. Our camp activities are not only fun, but also teach campers valuable skills and lessons such as teamwork and creativity. Campers learn, grow and make lasting friendships in a safe, supportive environment created by our nurturing adult counselors.

We believe in the importance of getting kids unplugged from technology and connected to nature and the world around them. Spending time outdoors has numerous mental and physical health benefits, and can even help improve academic performance and social development. Providing this opportunity to local youth is one of the main reasons why we founded Roughing It.
