About Shaffer's High Sierra Camp, Inc.

Shaffer’s High Sierra Camp is an accredited wilderness adventure sleepaway summer camp for boys and girls aged 8-17 located along the peaceful headwaters of the North Yuba River in California’s splendid Tahoe National Forest, about an hour and 15 minutes north of Lake Tahoe.  Our goal is to help children and youth take another step toward happy, healthy, well-adjusted adulthood by developing critical life skills such as independence, self-esteem, social competence, and a can-do attitude through an intentional implementation of traditional summer camp activities and wilderness adventure activities.  Named by Outside Magazine as one of its five favorite overnight summer camps in the U.S. and recommended by the L.A. Times.
