This past weekend was ‘Faculty Staff Weekend’ when we offer individual and family reservations to the faculty and staff from Stanford University. As always the weekend was a sell out with 155 guests total. Over the weekend the families enjoy quality time together, outdoor activities, delicious meals and comfortable accommodations.
The best outdoor activities at Camp are boating and hiking. At our boat dock choose from kayaks, rowboats, peddle boats or sailboats.

And of course funyaks. Our staff led activities for kids ages 5-12 including a paddle over to the beach for the older group.
Funyaks are stable boats for new paddlers
We also offer guided hikes for the adults in the faculty and staff group.
A guided hike on Angora ridge
At higher elevations in spring, snow is still covering trails, and it’s a great time to hike to see the melting snow rushing down our two nearby waterfalls.
The Lower Falls in spring
Saturday afternoon, Victor Babbit from Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters brought some fly rods and fellow guide Pete for a fly fishing demo for the group. For many, this was the highlight of the weekend.

The kids were busy at “the Patch” our playground.
Wheeee!
Most attendees headed outside for an active weekend, others like Eleanor Laney took the time to relax, “I just sat, read and looked at the beautiful views.”

The attendees gave the weekend rave reviews with many requests to add a day for next year like Mary Hansen’s , “Since relaxing is a great part of the weekend, my only suggestion is to add another day”. If you’re looking to get away from every day distractions and hold a meeting with free time to get outside or just relax, give us a call!
