Annual Events

Open House

Early June 2025

An afternoon for families to visit Camp Natoma for lunch and a tour of camp from the summer staff. Enjoy a ride into camp on the Amotan Express (the camp bus), a Q&A with the Camp Director, a typical summer camp lunch in the Dining Hall, and activities for the kids. This is the easiest opportunity for families to get to know Natoma and the camp leadership staff. 

Transportation is provided from Templeton. Expect a 4-5 hour experience with travel time.

Registration will open in April 2025.
