Groveland extends the 26 mile
length from hamlet village of Big Oak Flat all the way to Yosemite
National Park (minus a few miles in the middle for Buck Meadows.) Along the way are several famous city and family camps: Camp Mather, run by the city of San Francisco is the gateway to Hetch Hetchy. One literally drives through the middle of the camp to get to the Hetch Hetchy Yosemite Gate Entrance. Located on Evergreen Road (Just a mile from Evergreen Lodge) Camp Mather is also the home to the twice annual Strawberry Music Festival on Labor Day and Memorial Day weekends. Berkeley-Tuolumne Camp is located just off Hardin Flat Road and has been a family retreat for city of Berkeley residents since 1922. Many of the kids who grow up with a week each summer at Berkeley Family Camp end up returning in their later years as camp councilors. We meet many of the parents who will stay in Groveland to visit their counselor-kids on their rare day off during the summer. San Jose Family Camp is located just off Highway 120 on Cherry Lake Road. Tents and Cabins line the Tuolumne River where campers enjoy a bevy of outdoor activities. Camp is not limited to San Jose city residents. Camp Tawonga is another very popular camp for kids and teens located off Cherry Lake Road. This camp has a huge return rate year after year and again, many campers come back as counselors. Activities include the usual outdoor recreation blended with an immersion ins self, community and Judaism. And our newest camp: Camp Tuolumne Trails. A camp for special needs children. This camp was built by local Groveland residents Jerry & Paula Baker and became a community event in the last couple of years in building the cabins, landscaping and all sorts of other bits. They just opened this summer to a great deal of praise by the groups that bring in the children with special needs. Every single group has resigned for next year too. The lodge and setting are completely stunning. A note on Strawberry Music Festival. This twice annual music immersion is held at Camp Mather, on Evergreen Road, just minutes from Hetch Hetchy and has been a sell out every year for over 30 years featuring the top bands in many musical styles from americana, bluegrass, swing, rock, blues to gospel, all very folksy and family oriented. We look forward to the Memorial Day and Labor Day Strawberry Music Festivals as we see many of the same guests year after year, watching the kids grow up. This is a fantastic family event and a festival of huge importance to the Groveland area and businesses. The Hotel Charlotte is thrilled to be so close to the 4-day festival and the many guests who stay with us before, during and after the event. Tickets for the 2009 Spring event over Memorial Day weekend went on sale November 3rd. Don't delay, they always sell out! |
