βοΈ SUMMER CAMP SEASON IS COMING… and it’s time to lock in the FUN before spots disappear!
If you’ve been meaning to plan your kids’ summer, this is your sign π I’ve rounded up as many Nevada County summer camps as I could find - from outdoor adventures and sports camps to art, STEM, and everything in between. There is something for every kiddo and every interest π¨βΎπ²
Whether you’re looking for half-day options, full-day care, or those unforgettable “core memory” camps… it’s all here to help make summer planning a whole lot easier.
β¨ Pro tip: Camps in our area tend to fill up FAST, so don’t wait too long to grab your spots!
π Check out all the details below and start building your summer game plan!
πand if I missed a camp (because let’s be real, I am only one person), please tag them below, drop their info in the comments, or reach out so I can add them!

Tucked away in our little corner of Nevada County, Dawn’s Gardens is more than just a place to visit—it’s a labor of love. After 40 years of owning Dawn Landscaping, Barry Friesen transformed his personal 8-acre property into a breathtaking showcase of his life’s work… and we’re lucky enough to be invited in.
With over 50,000 daffodils in bloom this spring (plus over 3,000 other beautiful plant varieties), it truly feels like stepping into a peaceful dream. πΏ
This space is open only a few days each year, so you won’t want to miss it! Their next open gardens is April 25th, 9AM-5PM.
A few tips before you go:
β¨ This is a place of 40 years of dedication, please be mindful as you explore
β¨ Stay on designated trails (some are stroller-friendly!)
β¨ A golf cart is available for those who need assistance
Slow down, soak it in, and take in the beauty… this one’s special π€
