See What Camp is Like

At DEC environmental education camps, campers experience a balance of environmental education, sportsman education and outdoor fun. Campers come away with a life-long passion for nature and a dedication to stewardship of our natural resources.

Adventure, Education, & Fun!

Lessons at camp cover a range of topics led by counselors with backgrounds in science, education, or recreation and include examining insects and flowers in a field, using nets along the lake shore to study macroinvertebrates, or venturing in the forest to learn about biodiversity and forestry. Throughout the week campers engage in activities that emphasize basic ecological concepts about habitats, species identification, and how organisms and habitats adapt to changes. Campers also consider environmental solutions through activities and scenarios that encourage them to make decisions to mitigate their impacts on the environment.At camp, youth also have a chance to try new skills, including archery, canoeing, fishing, birding, or taking a hunter education course. Hunter education programs are limited and offer campers a chance to complete their safety certificates on the path to a hunting, bowhunting, or trapping license. Visit Hunter Education at Camp to learn more. Counselors also use the I FISH NY program to teach about fishing and fish identification.Day trips might include hiking, canoeing in nearby lakes, or visiting local nature museums as the week allows. Each week campers also go on one overnight trip and learn camping skills.Of course, camp also includes skits, songs, campfires, swimming, and recreation games to round out the week. Many of the games and activities at camp are from environmental education programs like Projects Learning Tree, WILD, & WET, allowing campers to play games while further reinforcing ecological concepts.

Girls Sports Survey December 2023 - City of Piedmont

Survey builds on Piedmont Recreation’s longstanding commitment to advancing gender equity in sports
The girls+ sports survey is just one part of the Piedmont Recreation Department’s ongoing work to empower young women through athletics. 
The Department’s annual Play Like a Girl+ Piedmont event – which drew over 700 girls+ from across the Bay Area last year – offers hands-on activities for over 20 different sports, live demonstrations on a main stage, and Q&A and meet-and-greet opportunities with professional female athletes. In the fall, the smaller-scale “Try (it) Out Tuesdays” event series gives girls+ of all skill levels opportunities to try new sports, meet coaches, ask questions, and learn about opportunities within the community.
Last year, Piedmont Recreation’s Title IX basketball jersey initiative was recognized by the California Park & Recreation Society as “Outstanding JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) Program or Event” of the year. 
Since 2005, California law has required that community athletics programs, such as those run by local parks and recreation departments, provide equal opportunities to participate for both girls and boys. This law, know as the “Fair Play in Sports Act” is similar to the federal Title IX, which has transformed athletic opportunities for young women and girls in educational settings nationwide. To learn more, visit the Fair Play for Girls in Sports Project.
For questions about the girls+ sports survey, contact Recreation Director Chelle Putzer at [email protected]. The survey is conducted in partnership with the Fair Play for Girls in Sports Project, a San Francisco non-profit that aims to expand access and participation to sports.

Mindfulness Institute | VA Portland Health Care | Veterans Affairs
However, as our experience quickly shows us (if we choose to pay attention), we spend an amazing amount of time lost in thoughts, emotional reactivity, old habits, and dis-connected from the world around us.
Mindfulness training, is a method or technique, and refers to a family of meditation or attentional practices as well as certain movement practices, that when engaged in over time, lead to greater levels of mindful awareness as well as other positive mental states.
"It feels difficult to even quantify what was most helpful about this program, as I truly believe having this opportunity to explore MBSC in this way could be truly life changing for me." 
-- Registered Nurse, Mindfulness-Based Self Care graduate, VA Portland
Why is Mindfulness so Popular?
Well, the simple answer is that research has consistently shown mindfulness training leads to a variety of physical and psychological health benefits. Some of the most reliable changes include improvements in anxiety, depression, stress, sleep, chronic pain, GI difficulties, blood pressure, quality of life, and self-esteem.
"I have learned how to be more calm, present and feel a much lower stress level." 
-- MBSR Veteran Graduate, VA Portland. 
Mindfulness training has also been shown to improve relationships with others, and in a work setting, to support employee well-being. Thus, mindfulness has the potential to benefit not only each Veteran and Staff member, but also to improve the communication and relationships between Veterans and Staff.
"I hope that every VA employee will have this opportunity to experience this training because it will not only improve the interactions with colleagues and Veterans but also the relationship with one self and loved-ones."
-- Registered Nurse, Mindfulness-Based Self Care Graduate

How Does Mindfulness Work?
Current research suggests practicing mindfulness re-trains the brain and strengthens important psychological processes, such as: attention regulation and self-awareness; reduced rumination, worry and self-criticism; reduced emotional reactivity; and greater levels of kindness and self-compassion.

Office of Community Involvement
We intentionally work with non-traditional park users and under-served communities who may not have the awareness, opportunity, or ability to experience the beautiful diversity of California State Parks. Our team creates opportunities to overcome barriers and empowers individuals to access the benefits of outdoor recreation.

Our Access Programs

Outdoor Youth Connection (OYC) training is a great opportunity for youth to experience the connection between the outdoors and one's community. At the training, youth will have the opportunity to rekindle, forge, and strengthen old and new relationships through camping skills, team-building activities, personal reflection, and journaling.
To learn more about OYC, contact our office!

Focusing on community leaders, program coordinators, and professionals, Outdoor Recreation Leadership (ORL) training aims to provide knowledge and tools to those who want to incorporate more outdoor education and recreation into their programming. ORL training will equip professionals with tools and resources to increase their program's diversity and community development strategies. On top of that, graduates will be able to access the FamCamp® program for two years.
To learn more about ORL, contact our office!

Since 1994, FamCamp® has helped hundreds of groups, especially those in underserved communities experience the outdoors. FamCamp® provides campsites and equipment at selected California State Parks. From the beautiful redwoods in Northern California, to the sandy beaches and urban parks in Southern California, OCI hopes to bring the outdoors to all Californians.
To learn more about FamCamp® and how you can use this amazing program, contact our office!
