Adventure Day Camp
Is a traditional summer day camp, provides a welcoming, lively, safe, positive, and diverse environment for children ages 3- 15. Our program exposes campers to a variety of fun, exciting and at times challenging activities that will strengthen their teamwork skills, bolster their confidence, and develop their sense of self-esteem. The strength of our camp stems from our small group sizes, personal attention to each child, a wide array of activities, and an experienced staff dedicated to enriching children’s lives.
Our Philosophy:
At Adventure Day Camp, the three-week session allows campers to participate in both group and individual activities at their own pace. We believe the very first place our campers should feel at home is within their camp group. Bonding with other campers and their counselor is, after all, a big part of what summer camp is all about. Our sessions begin with the majority of activities offered within this group setting. We find this not only creates an environment where campers may try new and exciting endeavors that might otherwise feel intimidating, but also ensures that they are exposed to all of the activities we offer.
After our campers have been introduced to our program within the group setting, we allow them to choose many of the activities in which they wish to participate. We believe that once our campers have had a taste of all out activities at the beginning of the session, they should then be able to focus on the ones they enjoy the most.
"WHATS THAT YOU SAY!"
My kids loved it and everything was organized and easy. So great to see my kids developmental growth from their time at this camp. Will be there again next year for sure.

We had our first ADC experience this summer and sent our 5 y/o who is typically shy and has some social anxiety. We weren't sure how things would go, especially with Covid protocols etc. Our son fell in love with ADC immediately and was so excited to go back every day! He was so comfortable there which speaks volumes to the staff and experiences at the camp. There are many unique activities including horse back riding, archery, rock climbing - our son LOVES sports so we we're thrilled there was so much bball, hockey, etc. The staff took careful measures to keep the kids safe and appreciated they took it so seriously. We enrolled in session 1 to see how it would go and ended up sending him to all 3 sessions. Thank you Kevin and the ADC staff. We will be back next year!

My son and daughter attended ADC 2005-2011. They loved it so much that they plan their summers around their ADC schedules. My son attended the overnight camp Pura Vida at the end of the summer and claimed that it was the best two weeks of his whole year back then. ADC is definitely a fun, educational, activity filled program sure to keep your children busy with positive learning experiences for the summer! I highly recommend it.

My son LOVED ADC last summer so much so that I changed around his camp schedule so that he could go back to ADC for a second session. This summer, ADC was the only camp he wanted to go back to (the others were fine...but not didn't inspire his loyalty and undying love). Last summer, he had just finished K and loved taking the bus as well as the overnight camping trip...he can't want to do it all again...along with horseback riding, swim lessons, rock climbing and much more. UPDATE: 7/12/2001 My son, now almost 7, went again this summer to the first session and is about to start 3rd session. His only disappointment is that his counselor from last year had taken a full time job (at Google, good for him!!). After a day or two, he loved his new counselor and was off to the races again! He is chomping at the bit to start again on Monday.

ADC is a total gem! My daughter has been going since she was 4 years old and CANNOT wait for summer to roll around every year so she can return and have a total blast. The staff know what they're doing, they're super fun and nice. She comes home the first day or two every summer wanting to be like her "campselor" and I think that is awesome! Imitation is the highest form of flattery, yes? :) ADC offers so much there really is something for every kid - sports (including rock climbing!), arts and crafts, canoeing/kayaking/sailing, horse back riding, swimming and so much more I can't even list it all! They offer bus transpo for those who don't live in or near Walnut Creek, which is super convenient for those families with 2 working parents. WE LOVE ADC!!!

My child has been going to Adventure Day since the summer after kindergarten. That was almost seven years ago!! The camp is so well-run - it's fun, with lots of terrific activities, and warm, enthusiastic staff, but what really sets it apart is how well-organized it is. Not only is the heart in the right place, the head is too!! Two years ago, my niece, then 12 years old, came out for the summer and stayed with us and went to ADC. She's shy, knew no one - and had a blast. As for me, I love the bus service. My child loves the bus (a real yellow school bus!!) and loves, loves, loves everything else -- even now that he is almost a teenager.
