Camp Augusta

We’d love to share information about Camp Augusta : )

In 1931, Camp Augusta was founded and donated to the girls of Piedmont, California. Since then, Augusta has seen a myriad of versions of itself culminating in the wish, wonder, and surprise that is Camp Augusta today.

At Camp Augusta, children see and wonder about a butterfly; they kick a stone and see how it really bounces; they talk with a friend without needing anything that electronically whistles, buzzes, or hums. This Northern California summer camp understands the value of non-electronic, personal experiences for kids. While many camps have sessions of 250 – 500 kids plus staff, Camp Augusta is full with only about 95 campers per session. This allows the director and staff to provide each camper with meaningful individual attention, as well as for campers to get to know one another on a deeper communal level.

Augusta is unique in our communication and behavioral management philosophies which provide the foundations of our camp. Each day, campers have the opportunity to experience choice, are encouraged to step outside their comfort zone and achieve their goals, and are supported through self-reflection, discovery, and development.

To support parents in raising healthy kids, Camp Augusta provides a safe, natural, community environment where campers learn and have fun. All with the intention of carrying out our vision: “To Reclaim and Foster the Beauty, Wonder, Awe, Potential and Innocence of Childhood.”
