Camp Ban FAM
All Ages | September 4 - 7, 2026 | Santa Cruz Mountains
Camp Ban Fam is a chance to bring the whole family (and family friends… and family friends’ aunties’ doctor) for a Labor Day weekend of fun! Whether you’re a multi-generational family or single, whether you’re new to the Bay or an oldtimer, we welcome you to join Camp Ban Fam. You will make deep friendships, while experiencing a magical world that was made by and for South Asian Americans (and our friends of all backgrounds!).
