Scheduling Visits at Conservation (Fire) Camps

Schedule In-person Visits by Calling or Emailing

Connectivity issues prevent CDCR Fire Camps from offering VSA to schedule video or in-person visits. In-person visits may be scheduled from Monday through Friday for a visit that weekend by calling or emailing the fire camp directly.

In-person visitation will be offered at 32 conservation camps, also known as fire camps, on Saturdays and Sundays. As many as three people (over the age of 2) may visit for any length of time between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., depending on which phase of the Roadmap to Reopening the camp is identified.

For example: a prospective visitor may call or email for an in-person visiting reservation starting Aug. 30 for a visit on Sept. 4 or 5.

Vaccine and Testing Requirements

In-person visitors who are unvaccinated MUST provide printed proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken no longer than 72 hours prior to the visit. On-site testing will not be available.

Fully vaccinated visitors must present their valid vaccination card indicating they are at least two weeks past the final injection in their vaccination series in lieu of a negative COVID-19 test result.

Additionally, all visitors and incarcerated persons will be asked to self-screen for symptoms prior to a visit. Those exhibiting symptoms will not be permitted to visit.

Schedule Video Visits Using Email

You must submit video visitation requests using email. Video visitation can be scheduled starting at 8 a.m. on Saturday through 8 a.m. on Monday for visits the following weekend.
