The 2007 Angora Fire destroyed a large area of the nearby wilderness on the other side of Angora ridge . The camp itself was not harmed , and in fact from the camp , evidence of the fire is barely detectable . On the other side of the ridge , many homes as well as forest were devastated by the fire . Several staff members were present at the camp to ensure that the camp would survive , with plans to evacuate via motorboat if needed . Many families were evacuated and stayed at another site in Lake Tahoe owned by the Stanford Alumni Association , The Stanford Chalet
