Description
Camp Mendocino is an outdoor education and environmental awareness program owned and operated by Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco.
Our mission is to enable and inspire all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. We surround our kids with positive role models 24 hours a day to provide the love and encouragement they need to realize their full potential.
In 1931, San Francisco Boys Club leased 250 acres from the Union Lumber Company in Mendocino County in order to offer a camping experience to kids from San Francisco. The Club named the 250 acres Camp Marwedel after C.W. Marwedel, the Boys Club Board President and driving force behind the program.
The Club purchased this land and nearly 1,000 additional acres from the Union Lumber Company in 1941. The funds were raised from George Whitney, the owner of Playland at the Beach and other members of the San Francisco Rotary Club and the Board of the Boys Club. Over the years additional acres have been donated or purchased. Today the Camp sits on nearly 2,000 acres, all dedicated to the character and leadership development of kids from disadvantaged circumstances.

Wow! Camp Mendocino is an amazing venue. We were here for a wedding, and it was absolutely stunning and unforgettable. The campgrounds, charming cabins and lodges provided a wonderful atmosphere. We were also impressed by the food (might have been a bit elevated for the wedding weekend) and the variety of fun activities offered, like archery, zip-lining, arts and crafts, and rock climbing. All was perfect for disconnecting from everyday life. The staff truly made the experience exceptional. They were all so helpful and friendly. It’s also conveniently located within a little over a 3-hour drive from San Francisco. Highly recommend! We hope to visit again.
Driving tip: Google maps will instruct you to take Rd 200A when the road to camp is actually down Rd 200! See photo.

If I could give more stars I would. We recently attended my son’s wedding at Camp Mendocino. The staff were outstanding and so personable and made their wedding dreams come to life. There were so many activities and areas to explore. It was a fun, unique and memorable wedding and event space I will never forget.
