Camp Augusta Wilderness is a summer camp program that provides one-week backcountry experiences for kids and teens in Northern California. Based in Nevada City, California, we travel to beautiful locations and facilitate backpacking, horse packing, rafting, and rock climbing trips.

More About Augusta Wilderness Trips
On-Trail Cuisine
Who knew hiking food could be this good? Augusta puts intention into everything. That’s why we serve organic, mostly local, sustainable food and meet any strict dietary restrictions.
Philosophy Matters
Our trips are about more than having a good time outside. Participants learn deep interpersonal skills from the most well-trained camp staff in the country.
Hear What They Think
We’re proud of the impressions we leave. Read testimonials from campers, parents, and staff. How did they like it, after all? What did they learn? Would they do it all over again?
