Family Camp September 4-7 @ Pico Blanco

Hello everyone,

There is a fall family camp at Pico Blanco.  This one typically does not draw as many campers as the big Memorial day Family Camp at Pico. However I have heard that there is interest in camping this weekend.

Because of the smaller turnout, we generally do not plan meals as a group. Families are usually left to their own as far as preparing meals.  However, depending on the size of the group interested we can consider group meals plans. We have a sign up sheet on the attendance spreadsheet if you want to go.  There is also a check box if you are interested in group meals.  

Cost for the camp is $40 per person for those 6 and over. 5 and under is no cost.  Gates open Friday night at 4pm although there is no schedule for Friday. Events begin Saturday morning.  In the past, families have arrived and departed on various days over the weekend, but the cost is still fixed.  It is not prorated.

Hiking at Labor Day Family Camp

Labor Day is a great time to go on a hike or backpack trip at Pico Blanco. As part of the Labor Day program, hikes and backpack trips for Scouts of all ages and abilities will be offered. You’ll have the opportunity to take a dip at the Circular Pools, see the largest redwood tree in camp, and even see the sunset from the top of Mt. Pico Blanco. While onsite registration will be available for most hikes, we highly encourage that you pre-register at the link below so that we can properly staff the hikes. See you on the trail!
