In the event of a major fire, everyone is to evacuate the camp and meet at the far end of the parking lot. Skis and snowshoes provide a vehicle for students to explore winter natural history. The cross country ski and snowshoe season can vary substantially. In recent years, we have had seasons when we have not skied or snowshoed, and ski and snowshoe seasons that have lasted for six months. Remember we are located at over 6,000 feet.
Weather can go from one extreme to the next without warning.
There is a pay phone at Crane Flat for your use. To avoid congestion we ask that only one person at a time be on the kitchen deck using the telephone. The road next to the campus is a major highway crossing the Sierra Nevada. It is off limits because of the traffic. Careful chaperone supervision is required when groups need to cross for access to meadow areas.
