Fieldguides' has a number of protocols in place to help keep folks safe during the program, we will be requiring pre-trip screenings from all participants and also incorporating social distancing into the program. Thankfully, the Mosquito lake basin offers plenty of gorgeous room for everyone involved to keep their families safe and still enjoy the mountains and friendships that are so special to this place.

The Last 3 Days are an even more relaxed and informal event for those who really want to feel at home and at ease in the mountains. We will begin to close down the camp and staff lead activities like day hikes and rock climbing will no longer be offered. We will still:
-Provide 3 full meals per day -Have a lifeguard on duty -Build a nightly campfire, but with less formal programming MealsDue to COVID-19 precautions all cooking and food service will be done by the Fieldguides staff. We will prepare 3 full meals a day and there will be access to light snacks throughout. Our staff will serve all food to families in order to avoid buffet style service and make sure that there is no opportunity for unsafe food handling and that social distancing guidelines are maintained throughout.

The Mosquito Lake Basin (named by protective fisherfolk to deter unwanted visitors) is located at the end of a seven mile unpaved road in the Trinity Alps Wilderness in Northern California. Getting there, however, is as easy as driving to Scott Mountain Summit, located along Highway 3 outside of Callahan, CA. Fieldguides will meet participants at the summit between 2:00pm and 3:00pm on Friday, September 4 to help shuttle people and luggage to the base camp.
