Camp Bloomfield

Wayfinder Family Services’ 45-acre Camp Bloomfield has been sharing the joys of the great outdoors with our children and families since 1958. Nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains in Malibu, our campground offers activities adapted for children of all ages and abilities and gives them a natural and safe environment to develop self-esteem and build independence. Family sessions allow the whole family to enjoy the experience together. We are so grateful to the S. Mark Taper Foundation for supporting Camp Bloomfield this year. Thanks to the generosity of donors like the S. Mark Taper Foundation, Wayfinders of all ages will have a life-changing summer!

Paloma closes her eyes and smiles while sitting at the campfire circle with her friends at Camp Bloomfield

Paloma was self-conscious about appearing blind and refused to use her white cane even if it meant she might trip, fall or injure herself seriously. She also needed a lot of help doing things for herself. So, her mother enrolled her in the teen session at Camp Bloomfield, where Paloma blossomed.
