Friendships that are made during this week may last a lifetime. Our site is located on 35 acres in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains near Saratoga, California. We are surrounded by Sanborn County Park which provides an additional 6000 acres of forested study area. The facilities at Walden West include a dining hall, shower rooms, infirmary, and cabins that are carpeted and heated. Each cabin is furnished with wooden bunks and mattresses.
All facilities meet health and fire marshal standards.
While your child is at Walden West they will be well fed. Our cooks are experienced in the preparation and serving of balanced meals and see to it that your child eats well. Children serve themselves to the family style meals and are encouraged to eat as much as they'd like. If an emergency arises or your child is hurt while at camp, you will be notified immediately. Walden West staff is First Aid and CPR certified and paramedics are within five minutes of our site.
