WHAT IS OVY CAMP?

OVY Camp is a non-profit summer camp opportunity for underprivileged youth entering 5th-9th grades. In the spring and fall, the event space is rented out to help raise funds and allow camp to cost as little as $25/wk.

IS THERE A SHUTTLE TO AND FROM THE HOTEL TO THE CEREMONY?

Answer

Not at this time, but we may add one if enough people stay in Half Moon Bay. Check out our Travel & Accommodations page for all the info you need.

Question

WHAT ARE THE CABINS LIKE?

Answer

There are 12 cabins on site, with 9 single beds in each. The beds have mattresses but guests will need to bring their own bedding. The cabins do not come with bedding, electricity, or bathrooms. The communal bathrooms are just outside the cabins and have electricity. There are showers located at the pool area, and restrooms are located in the cabin areas. Please note that similar to the rest of the summer camp, these are not glamorous!

Question

WHOSE LAND ARE WE ON?

Answer

​The Ramaytush (pronounced rah-my-toosh) are the original peoples of the San Francisco Peninsula. Prior to the arrival of the Spanish, the Ramaytush Ohlone numbered approximately 1500 to 2,000 persons, but by the end the Mission Period only a few families had survived. Today, only one lineage is know to have produced living descendants in the present. Those descendants comprise the membership of the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples and the staff of the Association of Ramaytush Ohlone. https://www.ramaytush.org/
