Camp Ravencliff YMCA (Redway, CA)
April 2012
I'm looking into sending my 9year old son to his first overnight camp for
a week
and am wondering if anyone can tell me about Camp Ravenclaw, based out of
El
Cerrito. It's in Humbolt and my son recently expressed a desire to go back
to
the redwoods - we camped there briefly last summer. He is a smart, goofy
kid who likes to clown to fit in and is willing to try new
things, I think he'd do well, but will need some reminding about sunscreen
-
he's very pale and burns easily. The picture on the brochure shows the
whole camp out in the sun looking happy
but I don't see many hats...
thanks for your input
I think you might be looking for Camp Ravencliff, located in Redway,
CA. It is part of the camping group of the YMCA of the East Bay. See
their website for more info www.ymcaeastbay.org

its Ravencliff - and the kids are likely only hatless for the picture.
My daughter was a camper from the first summer El Cerrito did the camp
and went on to be an Jr Counselor and a Counselor (and is hoping to
return this year as well). The camp is very good about reminding kids
to use sunscreen and bug spray, wear hats and to drink alot of water
(in past years all the campers got water bottles). The camp is
wonderful, the kids are incredibly well taken care of, most of the
counselors were campers, or have worked within the city of El Cerrito
child care programs, and they take up alot of life guards, and a nurse.
Most of the campers return year after year. Generally kids go with
friends but even if your son doesn't he will come home with friends!
