Camp Wolfeboro 2023Status Update April 14, 2023 |
Over the last week. the Golden Gate Area Council (GGAC) Properties Committee and the Camp Wolfeboro program team have discussed and evaluated the historic season of snowfall and the implications to Camp Wolfeboro. Unfortunately, the decision has been made that Camp Wolfeboro will not operate as a 2023 Resident Camp due to a variety of reasons. This decision was not made lightly. The key factors that went into this decision include:
Making a decision now allows us to guarantee a spot this summer for every affected Scout and leader at either Camp Royaneh or Wente Scout Reservation. In addition, we are working with Wolfeboro Staff on relocating them to one of our other Camps for the summer. Program staff have already started to work with each unit with a Camp Wolfeboro reservation to find them a place at Royaneh or Wente.
We will still have space at those two camps after July 1st to accommodate additional Scouts from other Scout camps in Northern California that are also affected by the snowpack.
While not having resident camp at Camp Wolfeboro is disappointing for all of us, it does allow the opportunity to focus on several key projects at the camp. Since our overall access at Wolfeboro is limited every year and the heart of that time is normally devoted to resident camp, this year we can use that time in a productive way to provide new and refurbished facilities to support the camp for decades to come.
As the weather and runoff permit, the GGAC Properties Committee intends to use this time to:
We encourage everyone to save the date and/or register now for our Family Vacation Camp, which is still scheduled for July 28-30, 2023. This will be a chance to see the construction progress and participate in an exciting and fun program! |
Help our Camp Director open up from the long winter & get camp ready for Summer Camp at Good Turn Weekend.
Come with your unit or as a provisonal Scout to our Summer Resident Camp or be on Camp Staff
Fun at camp for the whole family! Enjoy the river, explore the canyon, go shooting at the range!
The old saying is “soar to new heights”…
