Camp Locations
The White Stag program is currently offered by two related non-profit groups in Northern and Central California. In northern California, the non-profit White Stag Association sponsors three Venturing crews, a Learning for Life group, and a Boy Scout troop that plan and produce the summer camp program in Northern California, in the past at Camp John Mensinger, and currently at Camp Marin Sierra. The youth and adult members of the Camp Mensinger program are registered in Venturing crews in the San Francisco Bay Area, Mount Diablo Silverado, and the Greater Yosemite Councils.
In central California, the non-profit White Stag Leadership Development Academy sponsors a Learning for Life group, a Venturing crew, and a Boy Scout troop in the Monterey Bay Area Council and the San Francisco Bay Area Council. These youth plan and put on a program each summer in Central California. For the first time in 2009 they presented two camps, one at Camp Tamarancho in Marin County in Northern California, and the second at Camp Lindblad in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Youth staff participants are registered as members of the Boy Scouts or Venturing.
Both programs adhere to the Youth Protection Standards of the Boy Scouts of America, including background checks of all adult leaders. The White Stag Academy also conducts random drug screening of its adult program leaders. The Monterey-based program has drawn participants from overseas, including France and Taiwan.

Famous quotes containing the word camp:
“Usually the scenery about them is drear and savage enough; and the logger’s camp is as completely in the woods as a fungus at the foot of a pine in a swamp; no outlook but to the sky overhead; no more clearing than is made by cutting down the trees of which it is built, and those which are necessary for fuel.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
