The water leaks have been fixed. Everyone should have water now. You may experience some air coming out of the faucet first.BIG THANKS! To all the people that helped. Note, workers were attempting to keep social distancing.
As the secretary:
Have you ever wondered what happens to the items that are put in the green waste dumpster that are NOT green waste? They must be removed prior to the dumpster being hauled away. This means someone must get into the dumpster, pull the items out and haul them away themselves. This has occurred multiple times. If you’re the cabin owner and someone is using your cabin, it’s your responsibility to inform your quest to what is happening in camp. The picture below it what was removed this time. Please be respectful to others in camp and only put green waste in the green waste dumpster.
As the cabin owner that had to remove the items and haul them out of camp in my car:
Looking at the trash and stuff I have a good idea who the person(s) are that used the green waste dumpster for their trash. I won’t blame anyone, but I’m not so happy handling others trash.

Water – Work on the water system on Wednesday, June 10th. Cabins 106-112 currently have their water shut off. Please contact Pete if you need water before Wednesday. Other cabins may experience their water being turned off/on throughout Wednesday. We welcome volunteers to help fix a couple water leaks.
Dumpster – The last dumpster in camp will be removed on Wednesday, June 10th. Currently we do not have plans for another dumpster.
A green waste dumpster has been placed in the circle drive of the Clubhouse. Reminder that this is for sticks, branches and logs that are from your cabin property. NO trash including plastic garbage bags are allowed and do not fill it above the sides.

We’re looking for a used android smart phone (if the screen is cracked, might be useable), no service contract is needed. We’re going see if we can use it for the camp’s webcam. If you have one you would like to donate to the tract, please let me know. It’s a new season, please be sure to get you burn permit. Burn Permit Info – EI Dorado County Fire District

Greetings Sciots Camp Cabin Owners,
I hope that you and your family are safe and well. On Saturday May 9, the Executive Board held a Zoom conference call to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to Camp.
The Executive Board decided unanimously to follow the State of California’s executive order and comply with our Forest Service’s special use permit by canceling all events thru July 31st (meeting notes are attached). We will asses the remainder of the season as restrictions are lifted.
Unfortunately, this means no Memorial Day Weekend Cabin Owner’s Meeting, the morning biscuit and gravy breakfast and the opening of the Ice Cream Store. The cancellation also includes the Adult and Kid’s Workday’s, the 4th of July BBQ and 20th Anniversary of the Kids Olympics and the July 18th Sierra Wildlife Rescue Meeting. The Clubhouse, Playground and Restroom will also remain closed.
The operating budget for the 2020-2021 fiscal year will require your approval. We are still discussing how we will do this. Stay tuned for details.
The Executive Board has decided to chlorinate and maintain the water system and open the laundry room throughout the season because we know you’ll want to check on your cabin. We’ve learned that the Forest Service will not enforce you to maintain the 30′ debris perimeter around your cabin however we know you’ll still want to. We’ll be providing a green waste only dumpster for a month beginning May 22nd. We ask that you do not over fill the dumpster above the sides and wait until it is emptied and returned.
We will be collecting the annual Association dues of $300 to maintain the roads, utilities, insurance and water system. This will also allow the Association to continue to collect reserve funds to build a new water chlorination and monitoring system facility at the water plant.
In closing, these are unprecedented times and we hope you understand that the decisions the Executive Board made were not easy and we cannot wait until we can enjoy each others company again.
Doug
