Summer Address:

   Portola Valley, California, United States

Camp Unique, established 1976, welcomes you to a summer of adventure, learning, friendship and fun!

Located on the beautiful 63 acre campus of the Woodside Priory School in Portola Valley California, Camp Unique is a Day and Resident Camp for kids ages 7 to 15.  Our philosophy is to educate through activities with a focus on creating a learning rather than a competitive environment where enthusiasm and effort are rewarded over proficiency.  Camp Unique provides a wonderful place for campers to make new friends, enhance their physical and social skills, and try new activities under the guidance of our outstanding staff.

Our facilities are truly second to none with an Olympic sized swimming pool, indoor gymnasium, tennis courts, sand volleyball court, dance studio, theater stage, soccer fields, baseball fields, cafeteria and dining hall, archery range, art room, modern dormitories and much more.

New resident camp activities for 2007 include weekly trips to the beach, surfing lessons, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and tubing.  Horseback riding included with camp tuition!
