The roof repair continues, plus some dangerous tree removal.

Only a few days left before our big Memorial Day Weekend! We are expecting a big turnout this year thanks to the gang from Henrik Ibsen Lodge in SF and The Young Scandinavians Club. Can't wait to see you all there.

Some of the old roofing boards (aka skip sheeting) which are 1x12 and no longer available without having them custom-milled are rotten and must be replaced. That’s easily done with plywood. But some areas (the eves/overhangs) those boards are visible from below. Our contractor felt putting plywood there wouldn’t look the same. So for those areas he cut the plywood into 12 wide strips to replicate the existing skip sheeting.

Follow our progress here as we "Raise the Roof" on the main house at Camp Norge.

We are almost there friends! Please support Camp Norge today and show the world how much you your camp!

Alta, CA, June 22, 2017: Placer County Department of Public Works announced today that construction on the new Morton Road Bridge over Canyon Creek will be completed very close to on schedule. The bridge will be officially open to the public effective July 1, 2017. A torrential rainstorm in January washed out the road creating an 80 ft. wide and 40 ft. deep chasm and cut off public access to the Sons of Norway Recreation Center (known as Camp Norge) as well as multiple famil...ies living in the area. Only residents and emergency vehicles have been allowed into the area since. "This is great news!" said Mary Beth Ingvoldstad, President of Sons of Norway District Six, the fraternal organization which owns Camp Norge. We’ve had to cancel or postpone hundreds of reservations including our annual children’s’ camps. We plan to have fun with the ribbon cutting ceremony with lots of Norwegian flags and costumes. said Ingvoldstad. The county plans the ribbon cutting ceremony for July 5th. Camp Norge, a 46 acre family camp was founded in 1957 by members of the Norwegian cultural heritage group. According to Fred Hymans, President of the Recreation Center Board, the camp itself was not damaged by the storm and will be more beautiful than ever thanks to all the rainfall over the winter and spring seasons. Plans for the annual Kretstevne (family gathering) celebrations are under way as normal said Hymans. We hope to see more people than usual this year. ##Contact Fred Hymans, [email protected], 916-412-3797 for more information about the camp. ##For camp reservations call (530) 389-2508 or www.campnorge.org
