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.

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.
