We look forward to opening safely in 2021. Returning campers, including those who submitted a booking with us in 2020, will have priority booking in 2021. Please note that our weeklong sessions will start on Saturday and end on Friday, allowing our staff to have a full day to clean and prep for the next week’s campers.

The Lair has decided to change the way we calculate our traditional week-long Family Camp sessions, starting with our 2020 calendar.

For over 30 years, we have been setting our schedule based on Labor Day. This was the practice because years ago, schools typically started on the Tuesday after Labor Day. We set our 12th Week to end on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. Consequently, we worked backward from there to set our calendar.

Yet many schools in the Bay Area and Southern California now start school before August 24, which would be the Monday after 10th Week next year if we stay with our current schedule. The adjustment of school start dates has made it clear that we need to change how we make our calendar so that longtime August session campers can continue to join us.
