Camp Augusta

Camp Augusta is nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada foothills near the historic gold mining town of Nevada City. Our 80 wooded acres rest on the west shore of beautiful Lake Vera, about an hour and a half Northeast of Sacramento.

All activities take place on our site or on the adjoining South Yuba River Recreation Area. Our elevation of 2500 feet and tall pine forest provides the ideal climate for outdoor fun. Summer day-time temperatures average in the mid 80s and night-time temperatures in the pleasant 60s.

Our summer camp is about FUN with all of the activities you’d expect, but also so much more. In a small, tight, true community set in natural splendor, campers develop self-confidence, independence, social skills (emotional intelligence), creativity, activity skills, environmental awareness and appreciation, friendships, and healthy living skills. Kids also learn what most modern children have forgotten -- how to just play and be a kid without television, video games, the internet, canned games, or social pressure.
