To have a quality experience in the snow, scouts need to stay warm and dry.  You should avoid wearing garments that are made of cotton as once cotton gets wet it stays wet and cold.  Synthetic materials or wool can get wet but still keep you warm.  Keep in mind that the average daytime temperature at Marin Sierra during the winter is 28 - 42 degrees F.

 

Personal Items:

 

Headlamp or flashlight with extra batteries

* Sunglasses or tinted ski goggles (*required)

Sun protectant (SPF 20 or more)

Lip protectant

Camera and film (optional)

Sleeping bag

Pillow or create a pillow by filling your sleeping bag sack with clothes.

Extras:

 

There are little snowmobiles for rent at Marin Sierra so you may want to bring some extra cash if you want to rent one. 

Sledding materials may also be available but you should bring your own if you have them in case.

 

Camp Marin-Sierra Address & Directions:
P.O. Box 86, Emigrant Gap, CA 95715
Phone (916) 389-8192, Fax (916) 389-9981

From Marin County, travel about 150 miles east on Highway 37 and Interstate 80.

After passing Auburn, travel another 30 miles.

Exit for US Highway 20, and take it west towards Grass Valley. This exit is about 20 miles west of Truckee.

Follow US 20 for about 1/2 mile, and watch for a small sign on your right for Camp Marin-Sierra.

 

Turn right into the parking lot. Usually, the ranger prefers that most vehicles park on two rows in the center of the lot, especially in winter so that he can plow around the perimeter of the lot.  In summer, overflow vehicles can park around the perimeter.
