Dear Parents and Friends of Camping Unlimited,
The nearly 100 acre Camp Krem facility is located about 60 miles from San Francisco, nestled in the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Camp Krem provides a residential camp program serving children and adults with disabilities. Camp Krem has ten rustic cabins, a large dining hall & multi-activity center, a modern infirmary, an arts & crafts center, and a large, specially-designed swimming pool. There is also a basketball court, playground, campfire arena, miles of nature trails and several primitive camping areas. Camping Unlimited-Camp Krem is accredited by the American Camping Association. We are also vendored by many Regional Centers all over California.
Campers live in small cabin groups of 6 -7 with their trained, caring Counselors. There are 3 to 4 counselors in each cabin. There is a 2:1 overall staffing ratio. Our dedicated staff is recruited from universities all over the United States and from several countries.
Campers are encouraged to choose activities for themselves from a wide variety of programs on a day-to-day basis, thus encouraging independent decision-making and freedom of choice for each camper. The programs and activities offered encourage socialization and independence. Campers build self-esteem while developing new skills and interests. Campers make new friends in a fun, supportive and safe environment.
Our staff includes the Executive Director, Camp Director, Program Director, Registered Nurse & Assistant. There is also an Aquatic's Director, Lifeguards, Arts & Crafts Specialist, Outdoor Camp Specialist, Travel Camp Director, Counselor Coordinators, Team Leaders and Volunteers.
