River Camp Adventurers at Scout Island

Are your children ready to have the best week ever? For over 25 years, the River Parkway Trust has been offering an exciting, fun, and safe day camp experience for the Valley’s children at River Camp. Our lively and experienced staff of counselors, lifeguards, and visiting presenters will engage your children in activities that enhance their understanding of, and connection to, the San Joaquin River. Campers enjoy swimming and splashing in cool water, learning to canoe, exploring wildlife habitat, playing games, creating arts and crafts, and building new friendships during their week-long day-camp experience. A River Camp 2023 T-shirt is included in the cost of registration. Space is limited. Please sign up early to ensure you get your first choice week.
River Camp Adventurers is held at Scout Island, a beautiful 85-acre outdoor education facility owned by the Fresno County Office of Education. The River Parkway Trust is proud to partner with the FCOE in bringing local environmental education to the children in our community. Because Scout Island is located on a private road, all campers attending River Camp Adventurers are dropped off at and picked up from the River Center and ride the River Camp bus to and from camp each day.
Each summer we are thrilled to see the familiar faces of our camp counselors and returning campers. Many of our camp staff moved through the ranks from campers to Junior Leaders to counselors. They have incredible experience and knowledge of the River Camp setting. We also have a very high camper return rate, which fosters positive relationships between campers and the camp staff.
