CAMP JACK HAZARD
It will change your summer. It may change your life…
Camp Enrollment for 2025 is now open! Visit our Registration Page to view session dates and sign up!
For more than 100 years, Camp Jack Hazard has provided fun, safe adventures for campers age 6 to 17 amidst towering evergreens, granite mountains, and crackling campfires in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Camp Jack Hazard offers many of the traditional summer camp experiences including campfires, skits, songs, games, theme days and camp dances. In addition, CJH offers unique Adventure, Arts and Crafts, High and Low Challenge Course, and Nature programs. Uniquely, we offer wilderness skills, backpacking and backcountry ethics that are taught to and practiced by every camper, and guide every program by the core values of Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, and Caring.
One mile past Dardanelles on Hwy. 108, at 6,000 feet in elevation, CJH is in a perfect location to serve as a high sierra summer camp! The real beauty of camp, however, lies in the experienced staff and fun-seeking campers. CJH creates memories, stories, lifelong friends, teamwork, wilderness awareness, and the desire to do it all over again next year.
Jack and Buena Foundation/ Camp Jack Hazard Strategic Survey Results
In December 2023, the Jack and Buena Foundation sent out a survey request to all of our families, staff, alumni, and community in general to get a stronger understanding of the expectations of our stakeholders on what is great about our programs, but also where people want to see it go. In the link below is the analysis of that survey. These results are going to be used to help shape the Jack and Buena Foundation and its future over the 3-5 years. This is an ongoing and living plan. It will give the organization and the Board of Directors direction on where and what Camp Jack Hazard is going in our next 100 years!
*note: We had nearly 50 respondents to the survey, so know that not all responses were in this analysis. That doesn’t mean your remarks were not heard. We did our best.
