Pythian Youth Camp
President Truman's Legacy
When Harry S. Truman took Office in 1945 he accomplished several things: He revised Social Security,
passed the Fair Housing Act, and help to establish the nation’s first and only land-grant camp.

The Pythian Youth Foundation of CA is the keeper of President Truman’s vision of a wilderness camp where disadvantaged children can retreat from often improvised cities and experience first-hand the awe and wonder of nature. Camping has the power to change a child’s perception of themselves and the world that they live in.

CHILDREN AT CAMP make new friends; they develop communications skills and learn about shared responsibility;
they gain confidence in themselves and in their ability to cope with fears and frustrations.

Curriculum:
The curriculum for the Pythian Youth Camp is designed to dramatically expand outdoor learning, education and wilderness opportunities for economically disadvantaged youth who would otherwise not have access to the outdoors. PYF Mission To give at-risk 9 to 11 year old boys and girls the opportunity to make life-adjustments and long-term positive behavioral changes by involving them in high quality life skills, camping and outdoor education programs… and still let the children be just what they are, children.
