Camp Winnarainbow in beautiful Mendocino County, Northern California has a kid's camp and an adult camp where you can satisfy that dream of running away to join the circus.
While the kids are learning circus and performing arts, they are also discovering personal achievement and developing respect for themselves, others and the environment.
At the adult camp you will be learning performing arts such as stilt-walking, clowning, mime, juggling or mask-making.
Enjoy swimming in the 3 acre lake with a 350 foot world class waterslide. Camp Winnarainbow is loads of fun at a fraction of the cost of other vacation options.
The famous Sutter's Mill has reconstructed the way it was on that exciting day along with the old school house and the blacksmith's shop. There's a creek near the where you can try your luck with panning for gold.
The village of Coloma has a number of interesting living history programs and a gold rush museum. The town really gets in touch with its gold fever history in January when it puts on the annual Gold Discovery Celebration.
The missions are in use today and offer a variety of old-world architecture and historical interests. The route winds up the coastal Highway 101 between San Diego and Sonoma making an excellent road trip. Stop along the way for self-guided tours of the missions.
In the adjacent Hall of Science you can test your weight on the different planets or view the 6-foot topographical models of the earth and moon.
There are also two telescopes to look at the sky with. One points at the sun and the other is trained on the moon and planets. The Griffith Observatory is a wonderful California vacation idea for the whole family.
Some award winning exhibits are Jellies: Living Art, Splash Zone, Vanishing Wildlife and Outer Bay. A visit to the aquarium will be an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
