For All Families

Family Camp at YMCA Camp Jones Gulch is designed for families of all ages and vacation styles. From dawn to dusk we offer exciting activities to keep you busy, followed by songs around an evening campfire. If you would like more of an escape, you can spend your time hiking, napping, and enjoying the quiet beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

The Natural Setting

For the nature lover, YMCA Camp Jones Gulch offers 927 acres of beautiful redwood forest and rolling meadows. Scenic trails provide endless opportunities to view the flora and fauna of the mountains. In the evenings, campers enjoy night hikes and star gazing.

Recreation

Daily activities include horseback riding, canoeing, zip ine, archery, arts and crafts, swimming, and rock climbing on our 42 foot climbing tower. Families also have access to basketball and volleyball courts, and ball fields for games with friends, old and new.

Food and Lodging

Accommodations are provided in camp's 32 winterized cabins. Many have attached bathrooms; others have access within 50 feet. Families are asked to share a cabin with at least one other family. If your family has 3 or fewer people in it, you may be asked to share a cabin with more than one family.

Three hearty meals and snacks throughout the day provide plenty of energy for outdoor fun. Meals are served buffet style and include a wide variety of choices. Vegetarian options are always available.
