About our Campsite
Portola,
CALIFORNIA
Session 2 of Camp RennerVation: Teen Camp for grade(s) 9 through 12, ages fourteen (14) to eighteen (18) and will be located at the Sierra Nevada Journeys Outdoor Education Camp in Portola, California — just 50 minutes north of Reno and 2 hours from Sacramento. Camper's will have the quintessential summer camp experience, complete with kayaking, hiking, climbing the high ropes course, archery and campfire singalongs.
In addition to the traditional summer camp activities, Sierra Nevada Journeys also incorporates social-emotional learning into their lessons and activities, allowing campers to hone their teamwork and leadership abilities in a fun and interactive environment. Sierra Nevada Journey's is an inclusive, innovative, and equity-focused community and have cultivated a learner-centered environment to accommodate different paces and styles of learning and growing.
Summer 2025 marks their 17th year of summer camp operations and we are so excited to partner with Sierra Nevada Journey's to bring a second Camp RennerVation session to our 2025 programming, focusing on the teen age group, which is often, an extremely under-served demographic.
At the heart of the RennerVation Foundation lies a powerful mission: to offer children in foster care the chance to embrace a childhood filled with joy, growth, and belonging. Camp RennerVation will provide a sanctuary where kids can build confidence, forge friendships, and discover their inner strength amidst the beauty of nature.
We believe in the transformative power of normalcy, defined as the simple joys and experiences that shape a typical childhood. For children in at-risk circumstance or foster care, normalcy does not always come easy. We understand these children have unique life stories and circumstances.
Through our enriching camp experience, we aim to create an environment where children will be given the opportunity to engage in activities that stimulate their mind, give them joy, strengthen their emotional development, and allow them to experience adventure and exploration. We believe there is no limit to what a child can achieve, can become, and can contribute to their community if given the right opportunities.
