We are a residential summer camp located in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Northern California. We have six sessions during our season, 3 one week and 3 two week, with 90 campers (aged 8-16) each session. Our staff training begins on May 12th, and the main season runs through August 9th. We aim to give children the experience of living without many of the modern conveniences that are present in their everyday lives. They get the chance to experience living in an open-air cabin without electricity. There are no televisions or stereos so they make their own music. There is a great deal of information on our website regarding the philosophy of camp and the activities we offer. If you are interested in Camp Augusta, please look those over carefully.

Camp Augusta is different than most camps because we operate on a structure of flat hierarchy, consensus and intention with every action. This means that everyone's opinion and voice is equally valid, and everyone will have the opportunity to be heard. We don't believe in punishment, reward or guilt - we choose instead to see the hearts of our campers and connect with their needs. We also have many activities that you are unlikely to find at other camps, like: aerial silks, sword fighting, whips, fire spinning, lampworking, blacksmithing and ninja training to name a few. If we don't have it, and you want to bring it, we'll make it happen!!
