Professor Poulomi Saha and California editor-in-chief Pat Joseph discuss what the surge of movies and documentaries about cults reveals about us. The Lair of the Golden Bear will leave an indelible mark on your entire family. Lair campers of all ages enjoy a multitude of staff-led activities during each day of their stay.
Others find adventure on their own. By the time departure day arrives, you will have fallen in love with our special corner of the Sierra Nevada! Watch this short video to see what camping at the Lair is all about. From mid-June through September, most of our summer sessions are Family Camp. We offer seven-night long family camp sessions, plus several weekend family camp sessions.
Our weeks begin on Saturday at p. Our weekends run from Friday at p. For more information about our calendar and pricing, please see our Dates and Rates pages.
Each camp operates with almost identical programming; all three camps have staff shows, camper talent shows, age group activities, guest speakers, swimming pools, Cub Corrals, art, hiking, and music programs. The primary difference between the camps is the size and the layout. Camp Blue and Camp Gold are very similar to each other, as each accommodates about campers in tent cabins located throughout the camp. During the week at Blue and Gold, campers of all ages enjoy athletic tournaments and games such as tennis, basketball, horseshoes, bridge, backgammon, trivial pursuit, etc.
Blue and Gold also compete against each other each week in softball and in volleyball—no trophies, just glory. Camp Oski is smaller, holding about campers, and has a large beautiful pool, but no tennis courts and no tournaments.
