Blocking the Path to Juvenile Incarceration With Camp REES

We are dedicated to providing an effective alternative to juvenile incarceration. Our unique twelve-month live-in program targets juveniles who are at high risk of becoming part of the prison system. We focus on empowering our participants by offering them the tools and mindset shifts necessary to avoid further entanglement with the justice system, allowing them to rewrite their futures.

We offer a range of services, including drug and alcohol resistance education, gang resistance programs, and other essential life skills training. Because of our staff's personal, lived experience, we can uniquely relate to each participants, guiding them through their journey from a fixed mindset to one of growth. We at Camp REES believe that the clinical approach alone, is not enough to get through to our participants. Our goal is to help each individual realize and understand their potential, preparing them for a productive and meaningful life.

Together, we are reshaping the futures of youth across California by addressing their needs with first-hand experience, compassion, and dedication.
