California Caverns, located near Mountain Ranch in Calaveras County, has been open to the public since 1850 and was California's first show cave. Early visitors included Bret Harte, Mark Twain and John Muir, who wrote about his visit in his 1894 book "The Mountains of California." For 150 years, visitors have enjoyed the unique delicate beauty of the cavern's crystalline formations.

Although the cave will remain open to tour groups during the seminar, we will have ample room for classes and training exercises in the park-like area at the caverns. Primitive camping and shower facilities will be available on-site.
