A few months ago a disposable camera was found on a trail. Only two shots were taken and one is the first picture in the series.
You can see how low the lake was, just a few months ago and the subsequent photos are present day 2/16/23!

We are so grateful to have had the rains we did and fill up the lake!
Long live lake Cachuma!

Fun Facts from our Assistant Camp Director, Coyote Clay

Acorn woodpeckers are prevalent at Camp Whittier; they are easily identified by the red tuft of feathers on their head.
These birds will work in family units to fill a “granary tree” or, at camp, buildings with acorns. A single family of woodpeckers will tend to a location, tree, or building for generations, moving acorns around gaps in the granary tree as the acorns shrink. A common and friendly sight at camp, unless you are trying to sleep in after a long night of campfire and night hikes.
