Camp Marin-Sierra celebrated its 75th anniversary with a staff alumni reunion, bringing together former and current leaders at the 320-acre camp in Emigrant Gap.
Founded in 1950, the camp serves hundreds of Scouts each summer. Programs include archery, rifle shooting, nature hikes, and canoeing on Chubb Lake, with a focus on skill-building, leadership, and personal development.
Alumni from multiple decades attended, including campers and staff dating back to the 1950s. Many shared how their time at camp contributed to lifelong skills and leadership experience. Current staff noted the value of connecting with alumni and seeing the camp’s history firsthand.
The event highlighted the camp’s continued role in delivering outdoor programs and leadership training to new generations of Scouts, much like the hundreds of Scouting America camps operated throughout the country.
