Camp Arroyo is a beautiful residential camp serving children year-round as a place to explore, learn and grow in an ideal outdoor setting. Nestled in the hills surrounding the 138-acre Del Valle Regional Wilderness in Livermore, California, the camp was formally opened in 2001 and serves thousands each year. Owned by the East Bay Regional Park District, Camp Arroyo is operated in partnership with The Taylor Family Foundation and the YMCA of the East Bay.

Camp Arroyo is one of 65 regional parks owned by the East Bay Regional Park District. During the summer months, and several weekends throughout the year, the camp is a haven for children with life threatening illnesses and their families to enjoy together, thanks to The Taylor Family Foundation. The Taylor Family Foundation offers an incomparable opportunity to children and their families by providing therapeutic recreation, specialized support and resources. TTFF hosts a racially and socio-economically diverse group of nearly 3,000 campers with chronic medical, developmental disabilities and youth at-risk for over 30 camp sessions throughout the year—at no charge. Through Camp Arroyo, The Taylor Family Foundation provides a safe, nurturing environment, filled with positive energy and support. It’s a place where kids are surrounded by children with similar conditions, and where individuality is not taboo, but celebrated. The YMCA of the East Bay is the operator of the camp year-round, offering programs, and weekend group rentals for retreats and events. From September to June the YMCA directs an excellent outdoor educational experience that introduces 4th, 5th and 6th graders to important concepts about science, nature, and sustainable living. Both groups have decades of knowledge and experience managing the Camp’s life changing experiences.
