CABIN #__________

WELCOME! We are excited to welcome you to the City of Davis’ Family Camp at Camp Jack Hazard! In this packet we hope you will find all the details you will need to prepare for your time at camp. Camp Jack Hazard has many of the traditional camp experiences including campfires, skits, songs, and games. In addition, CJH offers unique adventure, arts & crafts, high and low challenge courses and nature programs. The real beauty of camp, however, lies in the experienced staff and fun-seeking campers. For those who have experienced it, CJH creates memories, stories, lifelong friends, teamwork, wilderness awareness, and the urge to do it all over again next year. In the heart of the Sierra Nevada’s Camp, one mile above the Dardanelles at 6,000 feet in elevation, Camp Jack Hazard couldn’t be in a more perfect location to serve as a high sierra family camp adventure! There will be a camp orientation held the Monday before each session on July 9 and August 6. Orientations will be held at the Veteran’s Memorial Center at 6pm. Orientations are optional but will be a great opportunity to ask questions and find out more about Camp Jack Hazard. If you have any questions prior to camp, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

CJH was started in the early 1920s and since then it has developed many successful programs including family camp. What are my responsibilities as a parent at Camp? • Supervision – While camp staff will facilitate activities, it is expected that children will do most activities with other family members. • Medication Dispensing – It is your responsibility to disperse and supervise during the duration of the trip. • Transportation – Each family is responsible for their own transportation to and from the family camp. What does Camp provide? • Food – Family style meals: Dinner on day 1; Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner on day 2; and Breakfast and Lunch on day 3 • Cabin – Each family will be assigned to a cabin with bunk beds and mattresses provided (linens, towels and pillows are not provided) • Activities – Activities facilitated by camp staff include the ropes course, rock climbing, arts and crafts, swimming, and campfire songs. You can do as much or as little as your family would like. Families are more than welcome to leave camp to go fishing, horseback riding or hiking.
