About Rock-N-Water

Rock-N-Water is a group of Christians who want to impact campers of all ages with the joy of God’s Living Word. Our desire is that you might come to know the joy of our loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to pass on God’s love to others with excitement. We focus our programs on biblical principles, and use the help of nature, friendship, and adventurous outdoor challenges to develop eternal transformational change.

Located an hour East of Sacramento in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of California, our staff travel from across the United States to minister to your students. Cross trained as camp counselors, youth ministers, and high adventure guides, they positively transform the lives of youth and adults alike. Our staff savor the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in your students’ lives.

Every Rock-N-Water trip is built around the idea that spending time in the outdoors, through fun and challenging adventures, is a great way to help youth and adults to experience real personal growth in their Christian faith. Each camp includes full action packed days of adventurous outdoor exploration with our summer counselors. And each adventure includes time intentionally set aside in the middle of each day to give you ample opportunity to just stop, and think, and pray. At night we gather together around the campfire for a time of worship and a more indepth biblical devotional.

    Wonderful, have no complaints. Great Rock n Water staff makes all the difference

  2. Vinh Luu

    Such an awesome way to experience God’s magnificent creation. Aaron has a heart and passion for camp ministries and it certainly shows. He and his staff are very knowledgeable. If you’ve never gone white water rafting, you can rest assured that your safety is a big priority to them. They even beautifully incorporate faith into rafting and other activities. You may come for the rafting, but you will leave spiritually uplifted. God is doing great things though this ministry and you should come and experience it.

  3. Brittany Dalafu

    Absolutely loved this experience! Could have succeeded more with a clear packing list and not leaving our valuable items in our unlocked cars on the side of the road. Other than those two things, the trip was incredible and I would definitely recommend it! Food was perfect, staff were friendly, grounds were clean and well kept!

  4. Rhonda Balint

    Rock – N- Water is amazing! I am surprised(for the 2nd year) that there aren’t more couples on the ‘Youth Pastor Couple’ retreat! It is so much fun, so incredibly reasonable, staff is the absolute best, adventure is safe and memorable, etc. etc. I can’t say enough good things about this camp. I highly recommend it for any of the experiences they offer, but my favorite is our getaway for youth pastors/spouses! Hope you will join us next year!

  5. Sam Link

    All the staff at rock and water are amazing. If you have the fortune to have Hannah as your guide, prepare for a great time for your students. The food was good, the adventures great, the fellowship was amazing.

  6. Bethany Sheley

    Excellent! I loved every minute, just wish it could have been longer :) But the timing was perfect on the couple’s retreat in that we didn’t have to take any time off to come. So really, it was perfect!

  7. Nicole Link

    I had a wonderful time at Rock and water

  8. Gabriel Claypool

    Amazing experience. activities were great. the kitchen was immaculate. 12/10 would cook in that kitchen again.

  9. Benjamin Gallardo

    Amazing fun, on Holy Ground. Everyone in our congregation that attended became much more closer & bonded. The guide was very professional the best guide I have ever had out of all of my Adventures.. The food is 100% excellent full-on feast of delicious healthy food. Lifelong memories and Bonds were built for my family and friends, it was the highlight of my family’s summer. This is a place I feel every child should experience.
    My son’s and I will be back next summer’s break.
    An extra special thanks to Babushka you’re the best!

  18. Kayla McDonald

    The guides were extremely helpful and a lot of fun! We had a great time with them but could also see their heart and passion for Jesus. We would definitely return as a church again.

  19. Hailey Graves

    We really enjoyed our time at Rock ‘n Water. The instructors/guides were very friendly, helpful, and made all activities a fun experience.

    The day of the white water rafting was a little unorganized, mostly the morning. Capture the Flag was played a couple of times. A number of students were not very involved in the game, but that may be the nature of the game.

    Other than that, all the students enjoyed their time there, minus the mosquito bites.

  29. Jagruti Kakadia

    We visited with our Girl Scout trip and our girls loved it and had so much fun with rock climbing and white water rafting. We did a over night camp and sleeping under the star was awesome👍Team was friendly and very helpful with everything we did.
    Girls still remember the trip and talk about it. I would definently recommend it
    I am giving 👍👍👍👍👍

  30. David Machuca

    The experience / activities with my students was awesome. The lack of food and quality of food was below average considering the energy that was used through out the day. For teenage students to only have one serving was an insufficient amount of food. If this part of rock-n-water was improved I would be able to say that the trip was a 4 or 5 star.

  31. Ashley Peterson

    Better than expected! Really well put together, fun and flexible schedules!
    It was just SO hot when we went! No way to escape the heat it felt like!

  32. Sarah Olavides

    Loved it!

  33. Scott Symank

    It was very fun. I really enjoyed how you always had something fun for us to do.

  34. Keelan von Ehrenkrook

    This is Consuelo, not Keelan, responding.
    I enjoyed my time at Rock-n-Water. I appreciated how accommodating your staff is. I have dietary restrictions and there was always something I could eat. One of our students came to camp with a wound and your staff took the time to properly clean and bandage it. We were given the time and supplies to have the students share what they like about each other.

    I have a fear of heights and when we went rock climbing, I was given the freedom to choose what to climb and how high to climb and was encouraged and guided as I was climbing. I was not able to go very high and still the belayer was positive about my attempt.

    The river rafting was my favorite. I felt that our guide prepared us well for what we might experience. When we had to go on the high side, we successfully made it (although, the big reason is that God placed our heaviest passenger on the high side).

    The only disappointment was getting an email (maybe automatic) saying that pictures were taken when this was not the case. I was excited when I got the email and disappointed when I heard that it was wrong.

  35. Josh McCrarey

    It was fantastic!

  36. Margaret Wen

    I felt so well taken care of. The campground and bathroom/showers are clean, food is yummy, counselors were easy to talk with and genuinely engaged with our 8th graders. The activities planned–rock climbing and river rafting were both huge hits with the kids. I highly recommend this camp and want to come again, if not with students, then with my own family.

  37. Destin Whitaker

    It was the most fun I’ve ever had at a camp. Our leader Avery was a beast. He made it so fun.

  38. Mariah Cooper

    I had the best time of my life! This camp unified our whole youth group and created memories that will last a life time! I hope to come back because this place is full of exiting new adventures! I loved the atmosphere of the camp. Everyone who worked there was so loving and fun to be with. I felt so welcome and I felt right at home.

  39. Connor Snyder

    It was an amazing experience. I would totally do it again.!!! Thank you so much!

  40. Joseph Goitia

  49. Stephaney Cooper

  59. Craig Whitmore

    Great experience. Would recommend for youth groups, families, father-son groups. Guides are excellent. I would recommend canyoneering. Wear a long sleeved shirt and lots of sunblock on the rafting.
