Welcome to Camp Trinity on the Bar 717 Ranch. For over 100 years, the Gates Family has lived and worked on the land that makes up the Ranch. We believe the values and beliefs we live by here in our mountain ranch community are a great framework for children to build strong character, while learning compassion and respect people and the land.
In 1930, Grover and Erma Gates first welcomed children in to their pioneer ranch family when they founded Camp Trinity. Today, we continue to welcome children and staff from all over California, the nation, and the world. If you have children ages 8-16, we invite you to look further at everything Camp Trinity has to offer. We hope they will join us for a challenging, rewarding, wholesome and fun summer on the Bar 717 Ranch.
Think you are to old for summer camp? Never! Do you want to go to camp too? Well, Family Camp is for everyone--mom, dad, kids, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends—bring them all for a relaxing, fun, and economical all-inclusive week of horseback riding, hiking, or just lounging by the river. See what they say about our Family Camp in the May issue of Budget Travel Magazine
