Camp Quien Sabe Youth Overnight Camp
Camp Quien Sabe is a traditional overnight summer camp experience, held at Toro Regional Park in the youth overnight area. The camp area rests on an attractive oak-shaded knoll with excellent hiking trails, campfire stage, kitchen and restroom facilities, a private swimming pool, and a lake with a dock for boating activities. The Regular Program for younger children, ages 7 to 11 years, is a closely supervised program devoted to teaching children basic camping skills and an appreciation for the great outdoors. Regular campers spend a week sleeping outside under the stars and learning to live in a natural setting without altering or damaging the environment. A variety of outdoor activities including swimming, hiking, boating, crafts, cookouts, games, nature lore and campfires make this an exciting and memorable week for all that attend.
The Environmental Team is a program dedicated to the young pre-teen of 12 years. "ET's" participate in regular camping activities as well as special activities aimed at developing an understanding of environmental concerns. The Work Experience (WE) Program, for ages 13 to 15 years, combines the fun of camping with two hours of work experience each morning in which the "WE's" participate in various outdoor projects to improve Toro Park under the supervision of their counselors. The WE's receive a a job evaluation that may be of value when seeking future employment. Please Note: There will be no Family Camp Weekend for 2023 as we rebuild our youth camps programs.
