Shaffer's High Sierra Camp was born in 2000, after a 7-year search by the Shaffer family to find the ideal location for a children's summer camp with a focus on wilderness adventure activities. The first facilities were constructed around 1948 to 1950 by the Camp Fire Boys and Girls, which operated a camp known as Camp Me Wa Hi. In the mid 1990s, the old log bridge to the Camp over the North Yuba River washed out. The Camp was then abandoned until the Shaffers acquired it. Since then, the Shaffers have worked on renovating, updating and improving the Camp. The Shaffers were proud to have earned accreditation from the American Camp Association in just their second year (Read more about accreditation). Since its founding, Shaffer's High Sierra Camp has gained an international reputation, with campers having visited from China, England, France, Holland, Spain, Guatemala, Mexico, Angola, Hungary, Turkey, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. It has also earned a spot among Outside Magazine's five favorite summer camps in the United States and received a recommendation by the Los Angeles Times! - [Read More]

Best Time for Manaslu Circuit Trek The time between mid-September to mid-December is arguably the best time for Manaslu circuit trekking. Along with this, the time between March to late May is the second-best time of the year for Manaslu trekking. These times are the most popular times because they have the best climatic conditions. The best weather and mild temperature create the best environment to trek. Also, the distant sceneries will be at their best during these times. Manaslu Circuit Trekking Difficulties Crossing the Larkya Pass, 5125 meters, is a challenging thing during Manaslu circuit trek. Due to its high altitude, climbing and crossing the pass is tough. You are at a risk of altitude sickness. Also, the pass remains covered in snow and ice during winter and hence remains closed. Likewise, crossing the pass in monsoon is also tough.
