Inspiring the next generation of off-road enthusists


The Rubicon Jamboree is thrilled to announce Jamboree Camp Rubicon, a dedicated youth program designed to inspire the next generation of off-road and outdoor enthusiasts. Our mission is clear: to cultivate young stewards of the outdoors through engaging education, hands-on adventures, and meaningful connections with nature. As part of the Rubicon Jamboree and Rubicon Springs experience, Jamboree Camp Rubicon offers children ages 6-17 an unforgettable opportunity to explore, learn, and grow.

Through partnerships with programs like Tread Lightly!, campers will learn essential outdoor ethics and responsible recreation practices. Our curriculum combines exciting activities with important lessons in environmental preservation, including interactive nature hikes through historic Rubicon Springs, survival skills workshops and outdoor readiness training, guided exploration of the legendary Rubicon Trail's rich history, an RC vehicle Tread Lightly! course for hands-on learning, and engaging discussions on conservation and trail stewardship. Saturday's adventure begins with a captivating journey through the storied past of the Rubicon Trail and Rubicon Springs, followed by guided hikes to historical landmarks. Campers will participate in dynamic activities that blend education with adventure, and the day culminates in a special movie night, raffle prizes, and entertainment designed just for our young adventurers.

Jamboree Camp Rubicon welcomes children from all backgrounds to discover the beauty of our natural surroundings while learning to protect and preserve them for generations to come. Together, we're building a community of young outdoor enthusiasts committed to exploration, skill development, camaraderie, and fun. Join us in fostering the future guardians of our trails!
