Camp Natoma opened in Paso Robles this week following the shutdown of overnight stays due to COVID-19 protocol.
The 80-year-old location only hosted outdoor hikes in 2020 with no overnight activity.
Camp Natoma Executive Director Emily Zbin said, âToday is our first full day of summer camp. The campers arrived yesterday, and we have about 100 kids right now. Many of them are first time campers and for the others they didnât get to come last year, and they were very disappointed.â
Camp Natoma Director of Operations Robbie Zbin said, âNot running overnight programs was a huge change for us but coming back, weâve had more enthusiasm than ever and weâre just really excited to be opening.â
