• Cabin Rules & Useful Info

Arrival

You may arrive anytime Friday or Saturday. Upon arrival, sign up for a chore. Newcomers should introduce themselves to the Cabin Manager.

Parking

During busy weekends (60+ people), please park as close as possible to the adjacent cars. Park near the driveway if you plan to leave early on Sunday. If you must block another vehicle, please leave your name and/or keys visible in the car.

Accommodations

Sleep under the stars on the main lawn (mattresses are provided), or pitch a tent on the back lawn. Tent space is limited, so please do not bring a large tent to a busy weekend. To sleep outside in California's dry, mosquito-free climate is wonderful.

Meals

Most weekend events feature five meals beginning with breakfast on Saturday and ending with Sunday's lunch. There is a Happy Hour before dinner on Saturday. Those arriving hungry on Friday may cook their own food in the kitchen. Three more meals are provided during three-day weekends (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day).

What to bring

Bring a road map, sleeping bag, pillow, towel, swimsuit, sunscreen, flip-flops, etc/osv. For party and other themed weekends, your dancing shoes may come in handy for the Saturday night party. Basic beverages are provided with each meal, and filtered lake water is available to drink. Many members bring a cooler full of ice, bottled water, and other necessities. The nearest store is 5 miles (8km) away.

Chores

Everyone MUST contribute to their Clearlake experience by performing one of the available cooking or cleaning chores. Sign up upon arrival, before the more desireable chores are taken.

Waterskiing & boating

Use of the YSC ski boat is available at an additional charge. Equipment provided are basic waterskis, wakeboard, kneeboard, and innertube. Private boats are welcome, subject to availability. Boats moored overnight must pay a $10 mooring fee and must be reserved in advance.

Quiet hours

Typically, the lights and music go off at 12:00 midnight. This does not apply to specially denoted party weekends.

Children

Most weekend events are perfectly suitable for families with children. The cabin is paradise for kids. Because of the enthusiastic nature of party weekends, it is recommended that children do not attend.

Pets

Dogs and other pets are strictly NOT allowed anywhere on YSC property.

Other rules

Please disable your car alarm. Members are responsible for the actions of their guests, so choose your guests carefully. Those who behave poorly may be asked to leave and/or lose membership priviliges.
