Camp Concord is a magical place. It gives young people one
of the most meaningful camp experiences available and does so in
one of the most beautiful settings in the world—Lake Tahoe. Through
Friends of Camp Concord, kids who otherwise couldn’t afford
it get the same chance to enjoy a week in the wilderness as anyone
else. Every child should have the opportunity to spend a week at
a camp like this.
