Registration is from 3:00-5:00 p.m. on Sundays. Coming early? While we appreciate the enthusiasm, we are not set up to provide early registration. Please plan to be here until your child is registered. Your camper’s first meal here is Sunday supper and their last meal here is the following Sunday breakfast. Check out is from 9-10 am on Sundays. Because our time is short between camps to clean and prepare for the next group of campers, we ask that you are here by 10 am. Late pick-ups will be charged 15.00 per every 15 minutes.
To ensure your child’s safety, campers are only allowed to leave after we verify that the photo ID of the adult picking them up matches your instructions to us.
Campers who are staying on for the next camp will spend their time between camps with some of our counselors, be served lunch, and have their laundry done.
If you are picking up one child and dropping another off on the same day, you can check in the child that you're dropping off after 10 am for an additional 25.00 charge. Check with the office after you pick up your camper that is leaving.
-
Deposits: A $100 deposit for each camp reserves your spot. This deposit goes toward your camp fees and is non-refundable. However, it may be transferred to a different week or camp.
Fees: The fees vary by camp but always include all activities and programming, and three yummy vegetarian meals a day. Purchases at the camp store, theme t-shirt, souvenir video and photo are not included.
Cancellation Policy: We work hard to make sure we have enough lodging, supplies and staff for each camper. Because of the expenses involved to do this, we cannot offer a full refund if your camper should need to leave early. We will, however, be able to offer a partial refund of 75% if they leave on Monday, 50% on Tuesday and 25% on Wednesday.
-
Early Bird Discounts: For kids’ camps, if your application is submitted by May 15 and includes the $50 deposit, you may take $25 off for each camp. If by April 15, take off $50 for each camp.
Extended Camper Discount: Campers staying longer than one week will get a $20 discount for each week beyond the first one. Please note you will have to pick up your child between weeks.
-
A registered nurse is on duty at camp 24 hours a day. Each of our specialty camps also have certified first aid staff or a registered nurse at all times. In addition, staff members hold current CPR and first aid certification.
-
Our camp store offers souvenirs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, ice cream, and other great stuff. We encourage campers to keep any money they bring to camp in the “camp bank” for safety reasons. Money not spent is returned before checkout.
-
Our expectations for campers are simple: respect yourself, respect others and respect your environment. We have zero tolerance for bullying. Any type of physical aggression will result in that child being sent home immediately.
-
We sometimes photograph or record video and/or audio of campers and visitors for promotional purposes. Your presence at Leoni Meadows Camp grants permission for our use of these images and recordings.
-
Because kids come first at camp, we believe that no child should be turned away because of finances. Through generous support from friends and parents, a campership fund is available to help families with financial needs. For campership fund assistance call early since funds are limited. To contribute, you can go online to: leonimeadows.org or contact Elias Esquivel, our Executive Director.

Leoni Meadows Camp is owned and operated by the Northern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Leoni Meadows has been offering Christian camping since 1978. Camp fees are used only for daily operational expenses with capital improvement projects being funded by generous supporters and the Northern California Conference.
