Specialty Camps & Programs, Year-Round

The Lair of the Golden Bear offers much more than a traditional summer camp experience. While family camp brings generations together in the beauty of the Sierra Nevada, our specialty camps and Winter and Spring Getaways offer unique experiences tailored to different interests and communities. From the active, social energy of Club Lair to the restorative focus of Women’s Wellness Weekend and the educational opportunities at Oski Science Camp, each session has its own rhythm, programming, and ways to connect. However you choose to join us, we can’t wait to welcome you to the Lair.
