Camp Trinity on the Bar 717 Ranch

Camp Trinity on the Bar 717 Ranch is the oldest accredited co-educational summer camp in California. Since 1930, the Gates family has welcomed children and families to our 450-acre ranch in the beautiful mountains of Trinity County to live, work, and play as part of our large ranch family. Life on the Ranch is rustic and unplugged: we spend our days swimming, hiking, riding, caring for animals, gardening, and making music and art. Campers choose freely from activities that range from horseback riding, gardening, animal care, and maintenance projects, to backpacking trips, crafts, campfires, singing, and much more! Today, the age-old traditions of cooperation, resourcefulness, and respect for the land continue to form the foundation for wholesome summers filled with fun and friendship, rewarding new experiences, and a deep connection with nature.
