The Grizzly Creek Ranch camp experience is designed for children with special needs and offers them an opportunity to grow physically, personally and socially in a safe, fun and positive environment.

Located near Portola, California, Grizzly Creek Ranch is approximately 130 miles east of Sacramento and 40 miles west of Reno. Situated at an elevation of 5,000 feet the developed facilities cover about 20 acres of the 1500 acre property. The surrounding forest, bluffs, streams and meadows ensure that the Grizzly Creek Ranch experience is free of distractions from the outside world.

The facility offers camp opportunities in the summer months for children and operates as a retreat and conference center in the off season. Operational support of Grizzly Creek Ranch comes from Sierra Health Foundation, a private, independent philanthropy based in Sacramento, California.

GCR Camp Management Services, Inc. is responsible for staff, guest services and facility maintenance at Grizzly Creek Ranch. Their parent corporation, The California Parks Company, with corporate offices located in Red Bluff, is known for excellent business and customer service. In business since 1975, they specialize in providing recreation, marina, food service and lodging management services in public and private venues throughout California and Nevada.

Led by Marsha Barnett, Camp Manager, Grizzly Creek Ranch will continue to serve children with special needs during the summer and provide conference/retreat services during the spring and fall. Community and regional events, such as Grizzly Adventure Day Camp, will also continue.
