What makes a community click?
Having lived in Carnelian Bay since 1972, I have gained a pretty good idea of what keeps it all together at the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. Whether you are a full-time resident or second home owner (the majority of folks in the area), community is important. If the community is not vital and complete, your experience will not be as good as it could be.
Since 2000, the Boys and Girls Club of North Lake Tahoe (BGCNLT) has served the youth of the community. Now as a permanent resident you might say “My kids are gone and don't use the Club.” As a second home owner, you may never use the Club although the Club does get youth every year in the Summer Camp Program who are not residents. This is recognized as a very fun and special program for children.
The reality of the situation is that organizations like the BGCNLT contribute heavily to the well-being of the community. This in turn makes for a stronger more vibrant community for all to enjoy. With a nice mix of academic, social and athletic programs, the BGCNLT does a great job of preparing kids for the future. Take a look. The Club is next to the Kings Beach Elementary School on Steelhead Avenue in Kings Beach.
