Working with Camp Sequoia is the best experience I've ever had professionally and personally. Although I have worked at a number of different camps and workplaces, I'm going on my 7th year with Camp Sequoia because, unlike anywhere else I've ever worked, at Camp Sequoia you can see the positive impact and change you have on the kids who come to us each summer. Every summer, I get to see kids who arrive at camp struggling to make authentic connections with others leave at the end of our program with friends and legitimate visible progress they can take with them to apply to their relationships at

My son returned from Camp Sequoia 5 months ago. Since his return, I've been waiting for the "honeymoon phase" to wear off. But, now that we've experienced a full semester back at home, I've come to realize that this is our new reality. I feel like I finally have my son back. His maturity level and social awareness have grown far beyond what I could've imagined. Prior to his stay at Camp Sequoia, I hadn't received a positive report from school for at least 3 years. This fall semester conference with his teachers was completely different. They raved about how smart he is and that he is a great kid

The medical staff was very attentive to the medical, physical and emotional needs of the campers. They went above and beyond to accommodate specific and/or special individual medical concerns.

My older son, with high functioning autism, thinks of Sequioa as his second home! We have the utmost respect for Brian (the director) and the counselors made such an impact. We live in California and searched nationwide for the best place for my son. He was 10 at the time, struggling with therapy and non-school activities. Sequoia, with the social skills focus, was a perfect fit. My younger son, neuro-typical with some anxiety and general social struggles during Covid, joined for the past two summers. Each summer, they come back happier, energized and so much more mature!
