I recently spent some time with Mike Boggs, VP of Strategy for the Council, to get an update on the different development projects happening at the camp–take a look!
Vision Book
The NorCal Adventure Area Program Committee is hard at work developing a “Vision Book” for the camp. The book is intended to be used primarily as a tool to help the fundraising committee raise the require funds needed to make our dream become a reality. Continue reading “Vision Book”
ATV Fun!
Earlier this Spring a hands-on ATV riding and saftey course was put on over multiple weekends at NorCal Adventure Area. Students learned the skills required to safely ride an ATV. By all accounts a great time was had by all. Continue reading “ATV Fun!”
NorCal Adventure Area
The Golden Empire Council, Boy Scouts of America, is the proud owner of an 83-acre property in Yuba County. The Council plans to develop the low altitude camp, the NorCal Adventure Area (or simply “NorCal” for short), over the next few years to serve the more than 16,000 youth in the 16 counties we serve.
The Council plans to relocate its training facilities for both youth and adults to this location offering National Youth Leader Training, Wood Badge, Lifeguard training and much more. On the weekends, the property will also play host to Cub Scout Family Camp and District Camporees. Merit badge programs will also be offered on a periodic basis.
This BLOG, primarily updated by Barry Shurtz, Council Volunteer, is dedicated to keeping everyone in the Council informed on the progress of camp construction projects and other NorCal activities.
If you’re interested in being a guest blogger and writing about your outings and adventures at NorCal please contact Barry Shurtz.
