A summer FULL of variety and adventure for students entering grades 2nd-8th in the Fall of 2025. Each adventure is an affordable $15 per child.
In partnership with the MeWater Foundation, our youth will be camping for two nights on the majestic Mt Tamalpais, just across the Bay north of San Francisco. In certain parts of Richmond, if you look west, you can easily see Mt Tamalpais in the skyline. Less than one hour from Richmond is a wonderland of redwood forests and spectacular Stinson Beach below on the Pacific Ocean. We will share meals, laughter, and games together. On Day 2, the MeWater team will take us down to Stinson Beach, where we will get fitted with a wetsuit and the first decision -- to ride the waves on a boogie board or join a MeWater instructor to make a go at surfing!! :- D This will be an intimate crew of 16 youth and 6 adult coaches. Many new friendships will be formed! Sign up today!

For over 30 years TYM has been committed to making sure that every child will have the opportunity to have a high-quality Summer camp experience. While the amazing FUN that is created is a big part of camp, young campers in their end-of-week reflections tell us their favorite part of camp was the relationships with their leaders and fellow campers. Many of our campers have faced trials and traumas at a young age. Because of that, all our programs aim to help urban kids develop the skills to strengthen their resilience to face the diversity of challenges in life. Enjoy the video below where several of our camp leaders share their experiences of authentic relationships with campers.

Yes. We provide bus transportation from Richmond to the Santa Cruz Mountains. As a team, they eat, play, and bunk together for 7 days and 6 nights. Amazing!
Our typical cabin team consists of six children matched with two adult leaders. Each cabin is gender specific and clustered by similar age/grade.
We ask families to pay a $25/camper administration fee. We are committed to every family being able to send their child(ren) to a high-quality Summer camp experience. We fundraise over $100,000 each year to help pay for the camp fees, transportation, supplies, and staffing. Hundreds of individual donors generously partner with us so that your child can come to TYM Camp.
What an AMAZING summer camp experience we had in July 2024. A vibrant crew of 115 children (2nd-6th grade) and 51 adult leaders made a gazillion positive shared memories together. Check out the highlight video that captured many of the moments. Our theme was, "Be Heroic" and we enjoyed learning about Biblical characters and modern people that demonstrate what it looks like to be heroes of faith in Jesus.
We are delighted to answer your questions or assist you with the registration steps. Please start with an email to camp@tymkids.org and include your mobile number so we can reach you directly.
