Lair of the Bear Special Discount for New Campers!
| |
Affectionately known as “The Lair,” CAA’s mountain getaway camp near Pinecrest, CA is a vacation where you reconnect with family, friends, and nature. You’ll easily make new friends, enjoy a wide variety of activities, and relax and recharge in our beautiful mountain setting.
Haven’t been to the Lair before? We are offering a 15% New Camper Discount for those who can join us Week 2 (June 15 – 22) or Week 10 (Aug. 10 – 16). If you are not ready to commit to a full week, we can instead prorate a partial stay for either of those weeks so you can get a feel for the Lair. We also offer multiple adults-only sessions and our College Prep Camp, designed for students who will be high school seniors this fall.
To book your tent, email lair@alumni.berkeley.edu or call 510.900.8255. We hope to see you in the mountains this summer!

Lair of the Bear Work Weekends

We invite you to our annual Work Weekends at camp in Pinecrest, CA. These are adults-only volunteer weekends where valued members of the Lair community get a behind-the-scenes look at the Lair, and help us get camp ready for the summer. Space is limited.
