Plantation is a working farm located on 500 acres in the coastal hills of Northern California's Sonoma County. Plantation’s emphasis is in nurturing self esteem and building responsibility in an atmosphere of shared fun in a relaxed and beautiful setting. Campers stay for 3 1/2 week sessions. They choose daily from a variety of activities such as hiking, horseback riding, kayaking, crafts, dramas, woodworking, animal care, gardening, archery, field games, barn dances, singing, tide pooling, fishing, swimming in our lake or pool and many more creative activities that our staff bring to share. Our Family Camp allows families to enjoy all of the camp activities together. Summer camp isn't just for kids any more.
Many good summer camps provide a safe environment for campers to have fun in the outdoors. At Plantation, our goal is to go beyond that and to create a magical place in a child’s life. This magic comes in creating a wondrous place where each camper can have of the most fun, the best friends, the happiest times each of them has experienced. And those experiences are carried with them throughout the year and then into their life as they grow up, face new challenges and accomplish all that they imagine.
