No two days are alike and none are boring. We also schedule regular "Special Days" like Gold Rush Day, Skylake Regatta, Carnivals, Decades Day, and a Counselor/Camper softball game to break the pattern. Campers are also coming and going from camp on a daily basis for trips to Yosemite, Cloud's Rest, Jackass Lakes, Chilkoot Creek, Lewis Creek, Chilnulna Falls, and a full array of other high country sites.
