California Summer Camps - Shaffer's High Sierra Summer Camps
"I don't think I could keep him away if I tried. In fact, can a camper do a three or four week program? [Our son's] only regret this year was that he didn't contact us to ask for an extra week..." - Cheryl Myers (parent), Lompoc, CA
Kayaking
You'll
be able to go kayaking (along with sailing and windsurfing) on
lakes in the Lakes Basin Recreation Area, just 10 minutes away, including
Lower Sardine Lake and Salmon Lake. During our sessions of two-weeks or longer,
you'll also be able to participate in our full aquatics day at Donner Lake where
you can kayak, sail, and windsurf.
Lower Sardine Lake
is very scenic, with the majestic Sierra Buttes providing a beautiful backdrop for your kayak trip across the lake. You'll paddle about 3/4 of a mile (1 kilometer) across the lake and beach at the inlet stream. You'll then hike up the stream a short way until you reach a hidden 40 foot (13 meter) waterfall. There's always someone who can't resist wading under the falls for a natural scrub!Salmon Lake
is another gem. It has its own island to paddle around and explore, and has some great rocks from which you can jump into the water.Donner Lake
is the largest of the lakes and provides sailors in particular some room to roam. There are also lots of inlets and other areas for you to explore in a kayak.Quote of the Day:
