The Neighborhood Center of the Arts is housed in what I'm guessing is an old hospital. Or a…read moresanitarium. It looks old and crazy, stale and, to use the parlance of fast food, melty. If it had teeth then they'd be about to drop off onto your head. The center has a wing on the far end (I don't know what other parts of the building are used for, but I've heard there's a glass studio). It's upstairs, and you can either take the stairs or the elevator. At the base of the stairs you'll see a series of totemic ceramics. Art lies ahead. The center is an expansive working art studio, as well as an open art gallery. The aim is to provide resources and art classes for adults with developmental disabilities. They work in many different mediums, including paint, photography, ceramics, weaving, computers, and pen and ink. Further information can be found on their website. They have a new exhibit every few months. Hours are 10am to 4pm. Until about 2pm the studio is active, with artists working, milling about, and attending classes. But visitors are free to step in and check out what's going on. Basically, this is my favorite gallery in the world. It's such a positive place, free of pretentions, and the work is great and presented well. The staff is very friendly, and the artists are nice and available to speak about their work. I (and my family) have a whole collection of art from here. Some of my favorite pieces that I own are from here. Once you walk inside, there are a few rooms walling the latest exhibition. Past that you get into the studio areas, where there is also more art to look at. Basically, every room has art on the walls. One time I was browsing some abstract religious icon paintings, and one of the artists came up to me and asked, "Hey, do you want to know what happened yesterday?" I said, "Yes." And he handed me the newspaper. Then walked off. Then I bought a piece of art -- a woodblock with an all-text Volvo advertisement printed on it, and sprawling on top of the text, in various mediums, are words and nonsense. My family and I recently invested in a huge painting, a collaborate effort by a few of the artists. It looks somewhat like a Basquiat. I highly recommend visiting the Neighborhood Center of the Arts. The artists produce amazing work, and it's very accessible, engaging, and enjoyable. The center does a wonderful job at cultivating their talents. A lot of care and hard work goes into the place, and their efforts are rightfully deserving of praise.

Nice camp not only for disability kids, but for any groups that's interested in renting a cabin or…read more2. There are pool, archery, craft area baseball field, canoeing & hiking trail near the camp. Only 1/2 mile hike to the creek & it's shady so the walk was pretty easy. The lake is about a mile down where you can go fishing as well. Due to covid, the camp was closed & it needs all the volunteer help they can get. You don't even have to be a pro to fix things. You can help cleaning the cabins, painting, housekeeping, just anything. No pressure. It's a great experience for kids too. You can stay there overnight in the cabins & do some hiking too. I wish I can do more. Will be great if they receive some kind of generous donation to fix up the camp. I am counting on the mega lotto, lol. But if anyone like to do a lil getaway from home & don't mind helping out at the camp. Consider this camp. Btw, the scenic drive is lovely!

Camp Ross Relles is a 228 acre multipurpose campsite for nonprofit organisations in northern…read morecentral California. The camp provides a retreat for exclusively nonprofit organisations to serve their recreational and creative needs. The camp was founded in 1959 by the North Sacramento Optimist Club to establish a camp for underprivileged and handicapped children. The first functional summer camp was held in in 1973. My daughters have attended Camp Ross Relles for several years now as part of the Camp Quest West program. Camp Quest provides an educational adventure with an emphasis on humanist values, including empathy, creativity, critical thinking, and community. Regarding the facilities, I feel that they are well maintained and appropriate for the use by nonprofit child organisations. There is a complex of cabins with bunk beds to house guests. The site is handicap accessible and has a new swimming pool area. Additionally, the camp is right next to the Malakoff Diggins State Historical Park and the historical town of North Bloomfield. Before and after dropping the kids off, there is much to see in the area with the rangers offering tours and gold panning. While my two oldest daughters were at camp, a stayed with my youngest daughter at the Chute Hill Campground. All in all, I highly recommend Camp Ross Relles, Camp Quest West, and the Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park. They are an incredible trio.
