Nestled in Big Bear Valley, we welcome children ages 7–13 into a community designed around one powerful idea: every child deserves to be truly seen, supported, and celebrated. While we offer all the activities and experiences you’d expect from a classic overnight summer camp, our focus is on building growth, confidence, resilience, and joy!

Camp Woodcraft is proudly American Camp Association (ACA)–accredited—meeting (and exceeding!) the nation’s highest standards for health, safety, staffing, and program quality—and our staff receives ongoing, industry-leading training.

Camp is run by an award-winning leadership team and staffed by a diverse and enthusiastic group of year-round, youth-development professionals. Our 6:1–8:1 camper-to-counselor ratio means no child gets lost in the crowd. Shy, anxious, or hesitant children quickly find their feet in this supportive, warm environment.

Our thoughtfully designed campground balances comfort with adventure, featuring temperature-controlled cabins and modern restrooms and showers.

For summer sessions, transportation is available, with buses providing shuttle service to and from camp—making the experience even easier for families!

Founded on the concept that competence builds self-esteem, Deer Crossing offers a wide variety of activities for campers, with an emphasis on building skills in outdoor activities and leadership.

Deer Crossing’s leadership programs – Counselor-in-Training, Leader-in-Training, and Wilderness Guide-in-Training – are specially-tailored programs that go above and beyond camp’s general activities with leadership, lifeguard and first aid training, wilderness first aid, and instruction opportunities.

Bay Area Parent Magazine called Deer Crossing Wilderness Camp “One of the best children’s summer camps in California.”
