Summer Day Camp 2025
Rosewood nature study area, Reno, NV
Sierra Nevada Journeys is hosting Reno Summer Day Camps for youth ages 6 to 8 years old.
Registration is now open.
Jump into the fun with Reno Summer Day Camp where campers can experience all the adventure and enjoyment of a Sierra Nevada Journeys program in a day camp setting. In partnership with the Truckee Meadows Park Foundation, we are excited to offer six weeks of STEM-based day camp programs for children ages 6-8 years old at Rosewood Nature Study, located at 6500 Pembroke Drive, Reno, NV.
Our team of talented educators and camp counselors will lead campers through a combination of daily themed STEM activities, nature exploration around Rosewood Nature Study, daily water play, and camper’s choice. In addition to traditional camp activities, each week of camp will focus on a specific theme. Our low camper-to-staff ratio and small groups allow for the perfect combination of group instruction and personal attention.
Join us for a summer full of fun, learning, and outdoor adventure!
