A co-ed, traditional sleepaway camp for ages 7 to 16, uniquely located on a 900-acre ranch in the Sierras north of Lake Tahoe. Family-owned and operated since 1956, our limited enrollment and unplugged environment allow for a more personal experience and family-like feel that bring all of the camp together.

Campers experience more than the fun and activities that are a given of the camp experience, but also grow in self-confidence and character, fostering new friendships and memorable experiences that last a lifetime. Our entire program is centered around the principles of servant leadership and our guiding values that weave throughout the camp experience: inclusivity, empathy, stewardship, integrity, authenticity, and mindfulness.

A day at MMR is organized but not regimented and fosters spontaneity. Campers choose activities 2-4x daily, with weekends and evening activities devoted to camp-wide activities that bring the entire camp family together.
