I loved all the counselors they were so kind and helpful, the cabins were nice, and I loved all the activities and I’m definitely coming back next year
Camp Jones Gulch offers a rare blend of natural beauty and structured programming across its 920 acres of redwood forest. Located near La Honda in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the site has hosted YMCA camps and outdoor education programs for decades. Trails wind through old-growth groves, creeks, and meadows, creating a peaceful setting for both reflection and activity. The Valley of Giants, a 31-acre stand of ancient redwoods, is a highlight for visitors seeking quiet immersion in nature. The camp’s infrastructure is built with inclusivity in mind—gender-neutral cabins, international counselors, and family-friendly layouts make it accessible to a wide range of guests. While rustic, the facilities are well-maintained, with clean bathrooms, showers, and picnic areas. Activities like archery, hiking, and science-based field trips are thoughtfully designed to engage youth without overwhelming them. Parking is organized but limited, so carpooling is encouraged for larger groups. Camp Jones Gulch succeeds in offering a grounded, educational experience that respects both the land and its visitors. It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be—the towering trees and quiet trails speak for themselves.
The YMCA Camp Jones Gulch field trip gave LGHS students a refreshing break from the classroom, with a focus on outdoor connection and group bonding. Nestled in the redwoods, the setting encouraged reflection and movement without overwhelming structure. Staff kept things respectful and organized, allowing students to engage naturally. While not every camp feature was explored, the experience felt intentional and well-paced. It wasn’t about intensity—it was about shared space, quiet moments, and stepping outside the usual academic rhythm. The trip served its purpose without overpromising, and that simplicity made it memorable.
I stayed here for 6th grade science camp during the 1971/72 school year. Nothing but fond memories. I can remember staying in cabin 7, probably mostly due to the Kumbaya song at the end of each full camp gathering. I wish they had tours or something for us oldtimers to reminisce. Thank you for the past experience and memories.
