Camp life extends well beyond the specific jobs on your schedule. Staffers play just as hard as they work. In addition to your day-and-a-half off each week, you'll have quite a bit of free time mixed in with your regular schedule. How you spend the time is completely up to you.

You can choose to stay in camp, where you'll have your pick of just about anything you can imagine You can take out a sailboat, a canoe, or a kayak and enjoy the lake for a while. Or you can play basketball, volleyball, or tennis on Camp's courts. Maybe you'll want to grab a book, play some music, hang with fellow staffers, or write a letter while curling up in the sun on the boatdock. The possibilities are endless.

Know how to wakeboard or waterski? Want to learn? Guests get priority use of the ski boats for most of the day, but staff can ski, tube, wakeboard, or kneeboard when the lake is at its best: early morning and late afternoon. Carving through water as smooth as glass at 5:45 am, just as the sun comes up over the Sierras is truly breathtaking.

Camp is also located about twenty minutes away from South Lake Tahoe, CA. While it's far enough away from civilization to enjoy the solitude, South Lake is close enough to spend a night in town. It has plenty of excellent restaurants, cool places to hang, night life, and casinos to keep you entertained. Opportunities to go into town usually come once or twice a week.

Your day-and-a-half off is the perfect opportunity for extended adventures wherever you want to go. Many staffers take time to explore the beautiful peaks, lakes, and trails of Desolation Wilderness, the pristine national wilderness area literally in Sierra Camp's backyard. In the past, groups of staffers have taken overnight trips to the California state fair in Sacramento, visits to friends in the Bay Area, trips to hot springs, adventures at staffers homes, excursions to local theater productions and even a 27 hour "mystery weekend" jaunt to Seattle!

Work hard, play hard...it's all up to you.
