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, Certified Recreation Therapist, 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.

the entire Bay Area. We will also offer Winter and Spring
Travel Camp programs, popular fund raisers and community service
opportunities. To become a Camping Unlimited member and receive
