CAMP WASIU II -
SUMMER RESIDENT CAMP
Camp
Wasiu II, operated by Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada, is
located just above 6,000 feet near Sierra City, CA in the
Tahoe National Forest. Serene lakes and towering trees
surround our 45-acre camp. The beauty of our location,
combined with pleasant summer weather of warm days (70 to 80
degrees) and cool nights (40-50 degrees), creates the ideal
setting for a summer of fun. Campers are placed in living
units of 16-24 campers and 3 to 4 staff where they sleep on
cots in platform tents. Unit placement is dependent on the
type of program and age of girls. The kitchen, dining hall,
Health Hut, camp office, craft shed, Trading Post, ‘Biffys’
(bathroom/shower facilities with flush toilets and hot/cold
running water), and swimming pool round out our camp
facilities.
Camp
Wasiu II is open to all girls entering grades 1-12.
Campers meet other girls from all over northern Nevada and
California and interact with staff from around the United
States and foreign countries. Activities at camp can
include swimming, hiking, archery (4th grade and
above), cookouts, crafts, nature study, and canoeing, plus
campfires, s’mores, and singing. In addition to these
activities, special activities are planned for each program
to make each program unique.
Camp
Wasiu II is THE place to be for fun, excitement, and
adventure! It's a special place where girls come together
to laugh, share, learn, and explore in the beautiful
outdoors. At Camp Wasiu II campers have a chance to be
independent, try new experiences, make new friends, and
create life-long memories in a safe, supportive environment.
With a variety of programs available, there is something
here for everyone.
