Pick your Path – A Speciality Program at Pinecrest Lake Overnight Camp

Igniting Your Campers Passions


The Pick Your Path program, created to elevate your campers weekly experience, introduces specialized in depth activities that ignite your campers passions while at Pinecrest. We have chosen three distinct paths for campers to follow; Explorers are adventure seekers looking for a deeper journey into the beautiful Stanislaus National Forest through an additional half day horseback riding experience, scenic hike and scavenger hunt by the lake.  Creators paint on canvas by the serene Pinecrest Lake, engage in the creation of nature-inspired wind chimes and join us in the dining hall for baking tasty treats.  Playmakers  are eager to compete in individual and team sports through tournament challenges and olympic style competitions with a chance to win a Run for Fun customized medal celebrating outstanding performances and sportsmanship.

The Pick your Path Program occurs 4 times over a two week session and is designed as a half day experience. Limited Horseback riding & alpine lake w/ SUPing spots available for PYP, group preference prioritized for two week campers.  See the chart below for details.
