About Pali Adventures
Pali Adventures is Southern California's premier, all-inclusive overnight summer camp. The camp hosts 300+ boys and girls ages 8 to 16 every week, from all over the United States and the world. Located on 74 private acres in the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains, Pali is between Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear, only 90 minutes from Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange Counties.
Pali Adventures is unique because it is a free choice camp - where campers choose their own adventures and live out their wildest dreams every day. Each camper chooses a weekly focus or "Specialty" from 21 incredible options (including Hollywood Stunts, Secret Agent, Movie Makeup, Acting, Dance, Flying Trapeze, Motor Sports and many more). They spend each morning in this specialty, making lasting friendships with other kids who share their interests. Campers come together for lunch, and then have free choice of over 70 fun elective choices for their 3 afternoon activity sessions. All of these options are included, from water sports to driving ATV's, with no extra fees. A Pali Camper can try it all - allowing for one of the most well-rounded summer camp experiences anywhere.
We are in many ways a traditional sleepaway summer camp experience - where kids have a chance to be technology-free and connect with the outdoors and each other. A very high staff to camper ratio of better than 3 to 1 ensures that each child is well cared for. Our staff is multicultural and international, as are our campers, giving kids a horizon-expanding experience of diversity. We are accredited by the American Camp Association, holding us accountable to over 250 health and safety standards. The ACA visit our camp every year and go over it with a fine-tooth comb - they inspect it so our parents don't have to! Parents can rest assured that Pali is an extremely safe and supervised place for your child, while still offering them the chance to grow and exercise independence by choosing their own adventure every day.
