Camp Concord at Lake Tahoe offers affordable family vacation
With the price of travel in Europe on the rise and an anticipated summer increase in airline fares, many families are looking for more affordable summer vacation options closer to home.
Camp Concord at South Lake Tahoe may be the answer. The camp is located in the Sierras, between Lake Tahoe and Fallen Leaf Lake. For over 40 years, the City of Concord has offered families the spectacular scenery of the El Dorado National Forest and the excitement of the great outdoors. Families register for camp by the day, providing flexibility for a weekend stay or a longer visit.
Campers can choose to participate in organized camp activities or explore the Lake Tahoe Basin on their own, returning to a hot meal, hot shower and a rustic and comfortable cabin. Trained staff offers campfires, canoeing, swimming, volleyball, brunch on the beach and other activities.
Families are accommodated in one of 18 rustic cabins with convenient access to restrooms, hot showers, laundry facilities, and the main lodge. All cabins have electricity and will sleep five to eight campers. Many moms love the fact that all meals are provided as part of the camp fee.
Aside from traditional camp activities, families have use of the Green Room Lounge, offering a quiet escape for reading and games. A big screen TV/VCR is also available for kids' movies. In the evenings, Camp Concord staff offers affordable babysitting for parents who are drawn to the bright lights of nearby casinos. Twice a day, camp staff provides specialized activities for children ages 4 to 12 during Kid's Hour.
Camp Concord is accredited by the American Camp Association. Each year Camp Concord is ranked as one of the top ten family camp vacation destinations by Budget Travel magazine.
