Mountain Camp
Try sailing, mountain biking and creative activities beside Ice House Lake.
Mountain Camp sits on a high-Sierra lake in Eldorado National Forest. Its low-technology, non-competitive residential format blends water activities, land challenges and creative programs within age groups. It is an outdoor-living experience rather than a single-subject course.
