Adventure Awaits: Register Today !

Summer is just around the corner, and the MACT Health Board, Inc. is thrilled to announce an unforgettable experience for Native youth from Mariposa, Amador, Alpine, Calaveras, and Tuolumne counties. Our annual Native Kids Camp is back and promises to be our best yet!

We have curated a week of adventure, learning, and cultural connection designed to engage and inspire young minds. Read on for all the details you need to get your child registered.

The Venue: Asilomar Conference Grounds

This year’s camp will be hosted at the spectacular Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California. Nestled on the Monterey Peninsula, Asilomar is renowned for its historic, rustic architecture and its breathtaking location directly adjacent to rugged coastal dunes and pristine beaches. It provides the perfect blend of natural beauty and comfort for an ideal camp environment.

Fun-Filled Activities: What to Expect

We are proud to offer a dynamic itinerary that perfectly balances education with high-energy fun. This isn’t just a camp; it’s an opportunity to build friendships and make lifelong memories. Camp activities include:

  • Excursions: Exploring the diverse wildlife at the Monterey Bay Zoo and the vibrant history of the Monterey Wharf.

  • Active Recreation: Team sports including lacrosse and volleyball.

  • Water Fun: Plenty of supervised time to enjoy the beach and the pool.

Core Focus: Education and Cultural Connection

While fun is at the forefront, the heart of this camp is personal growth and heritage appreciation. The camp features an educational experience woven into the daily fun activities.

Crucially, we dedicate a special Cultural Learning Day, allowing the youth to connect deeply with their heritage, learn from community leaders, and explore their cultural identity in a supportive and empowering environment.

Key Information & Logistics

We aim to make this experience stress-free for families. We are pleased to provide:

  • Transportation Provided: We handle the travel to and from the camp.

  • Meals Provided: Healthy nutritious meals are provided throughout the week.

Participant Eligibility
