YMCA Camp Jones Gulch Welcomes Family

The chief law enforcement officer of San Mateo County for nearly 15 years, Sheriff Gregory (Greg) Munks manages a department of 750 employees and an annual budget of $240 million. An active member of the community, Greg Munks has served on the board of directors for the YMCA Camp Jones Gulch.

Adapting to safety protocols related to COVID-19, Camp Jones Gulch has shifted its overnight summer camp programming to accommodate family groups. The new system allows one household to reserve a village, ensuring guests will not come into contact with other visitors during their stay. Separate family groups who have established themselves as part of a “social bubble” may reserve adjacent cabins or tents, providing they observe social distancing recommendations. Each cabin has its own bathroom, and all communal spaces such as the swimming pool and climbing tower are currently closed.

Located about an hour south of San Francisco near La Honda, Camp Jones Gulch offers hiking trails through stunning redwood forests, as well as access to tide pools and local beaches.
