Ask any former staffer why they've enjoyed working at Sierra Camp so much and you'll get a multitude of answers. Camp is many things to many people, and sometimes it's hard to put into words why it's such a great a place to work and associate with people...so check out some visuals!

 
   
Fallen Leaf Lake lies on the edge of the Desolation Wilderness Area, just south of Lake Tahoe   Sierra Camp sits on the southern shore of Fallen Leaf Lake, offering spectacular sunrises.
 
 
 
The boat dock can be one of the busiest places at camp. Guests and staff alike love using our fleet of funyaks, kayaks, rowboats, sailboats, and canoes.   Rowing at camp combines great early morning exercise with an incredible view.
 
 
 
A typical staff cabin. Most staff live with one or two roommates.   Part of camp’s rustic heritage, the Old Lodge and its deck host a myriad of weekly events, including arts and crafts, acoustic jam sessions, and more.
 
Music on the deck  
     
Music is a huge component of camp life, scheduled or impromptu. In addition to campfire and a Friday evening music hour, our music director leads an a capella performance by camp guests.   Every week guests and staff gather for an evening campfire filled with music and s’mores on camp’s Baby Beach.
     
Morning on the lake   The Ski Dock doing an Intro Skit
     
Early morning offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of Camp and the camraderie of friends who crawled out of bed just for you.   At the beginning of each week, each counselor group performs a short skit introducing themselves to the guests.
     
 
     
Kids at camp range in ages from 3-18. Counselors create programming that both entertains and challenges the kids in their group.   Fishing for crawdads off the end of the ski dock is one of Camp’s greatest pastimes.
     
 
     
The home of camp’s ski boats, wetsuits, wakeboards, skis, tubes, and more. The ski dock staff teaches both children and adults, experienced guests and total rookies.   Early morning is the best time to etch your initials in the glassy lake.
     
Chris Denton in his element   Tube flip!
     
Whether you’re going for the flip or just trying to get up, our lake is great for wakeboarding.   The ski dock staff performs many exciting tricks during the weekly ski show.
     
Tom, Jeff C and Wiley  
     
Camp’s hiking leader takes guests on treks of varying length and difficulty throughout the week.   Baby Beach is host to a weekly Games’ Day which includes family games, the ski show, and a BBQ lunch.
     
Peter Pan vs Captain Graham   All-Staph Photo
     
Games’ Day Staff usually create a theme for the afternoon and dress accordingly.   The 2007 Staph gathers for the all-staph photo - the kind of friendships you're unlikely to find anywhere else.
