Keep Family Camp Alive!
from the City of Berkeley:
[Campers & Friends – This information is being sent to you by FOBTC regarding the 2014 Camp season. Camp spots are still open, and we encourage everyone to support this effort to keep the BTC camp fire spirit burning until a new camp can be built.]

We are excited to have a place to gather for family camp this summer–Berkeley Sierra Family Camp at Echo Lake Camp! We are going to continue important Tuolumne traditions while highlighting all the wonderful opportunities Echo Lake Camp has to offer. The green chair circle, quiet hours, the staff show, table night, theme days, tie-dye, campfires, and excellent swimming and hiking will all be a part of Berkeley Sierra Family Camp. Of course, people make up the heart and soul of camp, and some of your favorite BTC staff– full of Tuolumne Spirit — will be there to greet you. And you—the campers—will help keep the traditions, customs, and fun alive for generations of Berkeley campers to come.
