Emerald Bay is located on the West End of the Catalina Channel Island, 26 miles offshore of Long Beach, CA. The Boy Scout Camp in which we will be staying is located next to Corsair Cover in the same bay. That being said, this is a remote area of the Island. The Camp is developed with running water, showers, toilets, & different varieties of lodging. But it is by no means a city, or even a town. Think summer-camp. Once guests arrive, they will remain in Camp for the weekend.
