Have an unusual kid between the ages of 8 and 16 who hould be the next Insta-star? has unusual interests? Don’t we all? Well, there’s now an unusual sleep away camp with short (1 or 2-week) sessions in a beautiful location that is made for them. Not only does this camp offer a wide variety of highly photogenic activities to choose from, it’s also located near Lake Arrowhead, California — a region that’s popular with families if you plan to stay nearby.

Regardless of your children’s interests and your passion for photo ops — we think Pali Overnight Adventures may have a one-week or two-week session that meets your needs.

Your kids will have plenty of company and  the joy of finding friends with shared interests. Over the past years, these specialty minicamps have welcomed kids from all over the United States as well as 17 other countries, who have signed up to pursue a passion or learn something new. (The “Hollywood Stunt Camp” seems to be an especially popular draw for international kids.)

What Can the Kids Learn?

This year’s Pali Adventures lineup includes 22 highly unique summer camps, clustered in groups that focus on Adventure, Creativity, Performance and Leadership including Magic Camp, Secret Agent Camp and others designed for your adventurers. Or, perhaps the Rock Star or Culinary Camp are better suited to your budding celebrity.
 
Teens will participate in many of the same group activities and sports, but can select their focus from this list of specialty camps. Instead of hiking and roasting marshmallows, all campers have 50+ activities to choose from including rock climbing, ziplining, EuroBungee and of course, the usual variety of watersports to round out their specialty.
