Follow Prairie Valley Road through town, through 2 roundabouts and up a hill where you’ll turn onto other named streets, but simply stay on that course through those curves. You’ll turn right onto Princeton-Summerland Road and continue as it curves, branches, twists and turns, through orchards, farms, and ranches. After 6 km, turn right onto Fish Lake Road. In 5 km, bear left and stay on Fish Lake Road. It’s paved almost all the way to the Camp gates on your left.Watch for SCA signs along the way!
