Overview

Camp Ross Relles sits on approximately 228 acres of wooded land in the Tahoe National Forest, providing a true wilderness backdrop where campers can hike old gold-miner trails, explore creeks, and enjoy meadow games under towering pines. The site features cabins, a lodge, pool, picnic areas, archery and craft centers, and natural habitats where wildlife may be spotted—bringing camp life and nature in harmony. Campers begin their days with outdoor adventures like creek walks or nature hikes, followed by skill-building sessions in crafts, archery, and teamwork-oriented games designed to support hearing-impaired youth. In the afternoon, they might cool off in the pool, craft project time in the lodge, or group reflection at the meadow field, and evenings are often capped with campfire gatherings or themed activities that promote friendship and storytelling. The camp is also adjacent to the historic Malakoff Diggins state park, offering opportunities for educational exploration of hydraulic mining ruins and rich environmental history.

Staff include specialists in hearing/communication accessibility, ensuring that all campers, regardless of hearing status, can fully participate. Safety and inclusion are built in: cabins are supervised, trails are marked and guided by staff, and each activity is structured to be accessible for campers with different needs. The setting encourages unplugged connection: phones and screens are limited, so campers engage directly with nature and peers. Traditions such as talent shows, nightly skits, and group songs bring the community together and mark the end of each memorable day. By the end of their session, campers walk away with a stronger sense of self-reliance, new friendships, and a deeper appreciation for nature and the inclusive community they’ve helped shape.
