Located near the scenic Back Bay at Newport Dunes in Newport Beach, Camp James has been an Orange County Tradition for 33 years. Children will enjoy adventures and make memories through a variety of activities: archery, stand-up-paddleboards, STEM, watersports, zip line, drama, a climbing wall, an inflatable water park, mini-golf, laser-tag, dance, karate, fishing, crafts and more. Parents can select their own schedule so campers can attend only on the days selected creating a flexible schedule for families that need it. We recommend that campers attend a full week at a time to get the “true camp experience.” However, if your schedule requires only a couple days a week at camp, that can be done and we encourage you to attend at least 10 days throughout the summer to experience all that Camp James has to offer and a sense of camp life. The camp is sold by the day and the rate depends on when you registered (the earlier the lower the price) as well as how many days you attend (the more you register for the lower the price). There is a $25 registration fee per camper. These offers have deadlines – review the Tuition Page for details.

THEME WEEKS
The theme of the week is like the icing on the cake. Every week we offer all of our traditional camp activities but the theme is carried over into our choice of craft, dance song, archery targets and so forth. Each week that your child attends, you will be emailed the upcoming dress-up days and special activities for that week.
