Camp Hamilton - Summer Camp 2008
Bonanza CCC Campground near the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho
Session 1:
July 19-26 — Session 2: July 26-August 2
Summer Camp 2008 will be held at the Bonanza
Historical CCC Campground, up the Yankee Fork of the Salmon River adjacent to
the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. The Sawtooth and White Cloud Mountains
provide incredible hiking trails, many to beautiful mountain lakes.
This is a historically rich area where gold was first
discovered in Idaho. Bonanza CCC Campground located 21
miles northeast of Stanley, ID, is situated at 6184 feet elevation
in open lodge pole pine, and will provide easy access to the Sawtooth Wilderness, the
White Cloud Mountains and Borah Peak the highest point in Idaho. From our
campground you can explore the ghost town of Bonanza, Boot Hill Cemetery, Custer
and tour the nearby Yankee Dredge.
There will be two, seven-day sessions: July
19-July 26 and July 26-August 2, 2008. Bonanza Campground provides
generous tenting sites, but parking will be tight thus limiting the
number of RVs accepted at this year's camp. In addition to camping
facilities; breakfast, sack lunches and dinner will be provided. Nightly
campfires will round out your day.
