Catholic Charities CYO Camp, situated among 216 acres of coastal redwood trees, is an awe-inspiring place that enables campers to experience a positive, meaningful and challenging summer adventure. Located sixty miles north of San Francisco near the historic town of Occidental, CYO Camp has been providing summer camp to youth of the Bay area for over sixty years. CYO Camp embraces the values and traditions that have made it an exciting, educational, and memorable place for tens of thousands of youth since 1946. Programs are designed to give campers the opportunity to develop self-confidence while making new friends and taking on new challenges as they progress from year to year. Money raised for CYO Camp give youth from the Bay Area’s most economically under-served areas the opportunity to attend CYO Camp and uncover strengths within themselves. With your help, deserving youth will have the chance to explore and grow under the canopy of redwoods, gaining new perspectives and confidence that will remain with them long after they return home. Through scholarships, or as we like to call them “camperships,” every kid has the opportunity to attend CYO Camp.
