Shaffer's High Sierra Camp

Established back in 2000, Shaffer's High Sierra Camp is one of our favorites. It's situated in Tahoe National Forest, giving campers the perfect opportunity to interact with Mother Nature. Speaking of which, the camp accommodates both boys and girls between 8 and 17 years old.

If you're keen about choosing a well-established summer camp for your kid, this is the best place you can take them. Shaffer's High Sierra Camp has done so well over the years that it's even been recommended by Outside Magazine and the LA Times.

It has a zero Wi-Fi connectivity policy, which makes it easier to train kids to unplug from technology and instead focus on building relationships with people and connecting with nature. There are dozens of activities that your child can take part in. These include archery, swimming, performing arts, arts and crafts like acrylic painting, volleyball and more. The owners also plan backpacking and hiking expeditions.
