Valley Trails Summer Camp at Woodcrest in Tarzana, CA has provided an enriching and fun-filled camp experience for children of all ages for over 50 years. We view camp as a lot more than entertaining children while school is out for the summer. It’s a vital part of children’s development, and it is our mission to help “grow campers,” creating the next generation of thoughtful, empathetic leaders who understand the importance of community.

While we ensure our campers are having fun, we go above and beyond to ensure they become well-rounded individuals and better people.
