Every effort will be made to assign friends to the same group if requests are noted on the application. We reserve the absolute right to make and change cabin groupings that we believe is in the best interest of the campers.
Meals
Campers will have three healthy meals a day served buffet style in the camp dining
room. Vegetarian meals are available by request. We are not equipped to prepare
vegan or specialty diets.
Medical Care
Jam Camp West will provide an on-site resident nurse available to administer first aid,
dispense medication, or coordinate care in the event of a medical emergency. A major
hospital is located in Redwood City, fifteen miles from the camp.
Cell Phones & Other Mechanical Devices
Our goal is to provide our campers with a unique and natural experience away from home
and the noise of city life. For this reason, mechanical devices will be prohibited at camp
including radios, walkmans, electronic games, and computers. Cell phones do not work
at Redwood Glen.
