Majestic forests. Sunny Days. Star-filled nights.
Trails leading to amazing adventures.
Welcome to Camp Ravencliff, where kids thrive in a safe, caring supportive community and learning is by experience. Lessons learned here last well beyond the final camp-fire, they help to shape young lives and inspire new goals and dreams.
At Camp Ravencliff, kids and teens discover not just the wonders of the outdoors, but the joy of exploring their unique personalities, talents and interests. Campers gain independence, make new friends, build resilience and learn to try new things.
Nestled on a hillside along the Eel River, in the town of Redway in Southern Humboldt County. Our rustic, natural environment and small camp size offers a rich environment for kids to learn about themselves, their surroundings, and how to live in their community.
