Though winter is still lingering in the Tahoe-area mountains, warmer days are just around the corner. Plan now to enjoy the region’s famous fresh air, sunny skies, sandy beaches and hiking adventures.
The 2024 Wild Blue Dogs Summer Camp takes place June 3-9, and it’s a terrific way to welcome the season. You’ll enjoy a week of activities and education with your dog, of course. Private beach access and pup-friendly lodging options are another highlight. Participants also support four-legged friends in need, which makes the experience extra special. Reserve your tickets today!
The camp is held on a 33-acre beachfront property near Zephyr Cove on Lake Tahoe’s Nevada side. Daily sessions led by certified trainers cover agility, nose work, nutrition, kayaking, and canine core conditioning. Mornings might start with a guided lakeside walk before moving into training drills on the open field. Afternoons bring water activities, photography sessions, and plenty of time for your pup to play on the beach. Evenings are for group dinners, campfire conversations, and the kind of relaxed camaraderie that comes from spending a week with fellow dog lovers.
Wild Blue Dogs is the country’s only nonprofit dog camp, and every registration dollar supports canine cancer treatment grants and research. By signing up, you’re giving your dog a week they’ll never forget while also helping dogs in need across the country. Spots are limited to ensure personalized attention from the training staff, so early booking is recommended.
You can choose from three lodging options: on-site 4-H cabins for the most immersive experience, a room at the nearby dog-friendly Beach Retreat & Lodge for hotel comforts, or your own off-site accommodations. Whichever you pick, you’ll spend your days surrounded by dogs, fresh mountain air, and the kind of lake views that make you want to extend your stay.
