Camp Overview
Tucked away in the enchanting Sierra foothills, Sugar Pine has long been a cherished retreat for campers who consider it a home away from home. With lively horse stables, towering ropes courses, pristine alpine lakes, and intriguing caves nearby, Sugar Pine is a paradise for thrill-seekers. At an elevation of 5,000 feet, this scenic camp invites adventurous spirits to dive into swimming, archery, horseback riding, and more. Cozy up in rustic cabins or sleep in unique covered wagons, surrounded by babbling creeks and endless starry skies. Here, campers embark on wild adventures and build friendships that last a lifetime in our beloved mountain sanctuary.

Hmm... What's your role?
Staff Time Off
Each day, you will receive 4 hours off as personal time-- for showering, checking emails, etc. You will also have one day off per week. During these off times, you will have access to the staff lounge, which has couches, TV, wifi, electricity, and a small kitchenette—as well as a set of showers reserved for staff only. On your time off, you are able to leave camp. Transportation is not always provided—you may need to coordinate with other staff. Our camp is located in a small town, and it’s about 1.5 hours of driving time to a larger city area. We provide transportation on Saturdays to pre-set locations (generally these are trips to cities or attractions). We do provide transportation for supply runs to stores upon your arrival.
Living at Sugar Pine:
Staff at Camp Sugar Pine live in outdoor cabins. These cabins are rustic—they do not have electricity, running water, etc. They do have solid beds, screened windows, and doors. Steps away from each cabin is a full bathhouse, which includes flush toilets, showers, sinks and electricity. Staff live in separate cabins from the campers, so you can expect to be housed with other counselors in a “staff cabin”.
Staff Qualities
Our participants are ages 7-17, and our camp welcomes anyone who identifies with the girl experience. We follow a culture code that is deeply focused on community, inclusion and belonging. In our staff, we look for role models who are eager to connect with campers, help them feel seen, heard, and accepted, and provide a fun and memorable experience in the outdoors.
