Tahoe Donner

Summer in Tahoe Donner is packed with adventure. Make sure you pick up your copy of the Summer Fun Guide to help you plan your summer.

Bikeworks has changed its location and is moving to the Equestrian Center. This will give bikers easy access to many of Tahoe Donner’s amazing trails as well as the newly purchased Euer Valley! The Beach Club Marina will still offer bike rentals for use around the lake. Now there are a few different options for you to take a spin with family and friends.

Our popular recreation events will be in full swing! Come spend the night under the stars with Tahoe Donner. This summer we are offering a Family overnight camp out at the Beach Club Marina. Make sure you don’t miss out, space is limited. Pre-register online!

New this year, we will offer private Archery lessons. You can reserve a lesson for up to 3 people. Please register 24 hours in advance.

We have a very special summer Concert on the Green, set for Saturday July 21. This is one summer event you won’t want to miss!

These are just a few of the summer fun options for you to explore! Don’t forget, for more information about all events and amenities check out the Summer Fun Guide!

Horsemanship camps and lessons will no longer be offered at Tahoe Donner Equestrian Center. The facility and programs will be going through a restructuring and resizing process so that the amenity can continue to provide core services to our members, but operate at less of a loss. Beginning this summer, the Equestrian Center’s main focus will be boarding, trail and pony rides and BBQ’s.

There are preliminary plans to offer a “trail day camp” on a limited basis. On select dates, we will offer a half-day program for ages 8 and up. Participants will get to groom and saddle/unsaddle their horse and go for a trail ride; upon return, they will get to help feed the lunch to the horses and listen to a short lecture on various horse-related topics. Keep an eye on our website for further details on this program.

For those students who are looking for riding instruction or the week-long camp experience, a nearby alternative is Piping Rock Equestrian Center. Located 5 minutes from downtown Truckee, they offer both lessons and horsemanship camps during the 2012 summer season. For more information, visit their website at  www.pipingrockhorses.com or call (530) 582-6780. Tahoe Donner does not recommend or endorse any other organization offering these services; Piping Horse is simply offered as a nearby option for equestrians to potentially investigate.

Tahoe Donner’s purchase of the Euer Valley is complete! Access and use rules are being determined. For all the latest info on this incredible property, please visit the Euer Valley page in the Members section of our site.
