Welcome to Camp NPCA! We’re so excited invite you to celebrate National Park Week with us in-person in 2024. Join us for whole summer of camp packed into one very full day at Pinnacles National Park on April 20. We’ll hike, explore the caves, watch for some of the park’s 160 bird species, exchange friendship bracelets, and best of all: explore one of California’s prime national parks with new friends and your favorite outdoor influencers as camp counselors.
This event is completely FREE. That includes your park entry fee, your lunch and snacks (s’mores, anyone?), all activities and supplies, your new favorite t-shirt, and a few surprises only available at Camp NPCA events.
New to Pinnacles?
It’s about an hour and a half from San Jose. While Pinnacles is one of California’s least-explored national parks, the spring is a popular time to visit especially when the wildflowers are in bloom. We recommend making travel plans (if needed) as soon as you’re able.
Please note: All participants will be required to sign NPCA’s standard liability waiver and photo release. NPCA recommends all participants be up to date on their Covid-19 vaccine per current Centers for Disease Control recommendations and guidance. Trip requirements are subject to change. All NPCA Staff-led experiences will be defined by the NPCA staff member. Each participant is responsible for determining their preferred activity level, accessibility, needs and interests. This event includes moderate hiking at moderate altitudes. NPCA will work with participants to select activities that meet all participants preferred activity and comfort level.
Registration opens on March 12!
