The Young Scandinavians Club, or YSC for short, is a social club for Scandinavian and Scandinavian-American individuals and families of all ages in the San Francisco Bay Area. Events take place throughout Northern California. Members have access to club-owned cabins in Clear Lake and Lake Tahoe, while social and cultural events take place year round in and near San Francisco. flags

Those with Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, or Swedish heritage may qualify for membership, with rates starting at just $35 per year.

"The YSC is an amazing organization for both the young and the young-at-heart. "

Tahoe Covid-19 Update:

With the continued caution that the State and Local governments has placed around the Covid-19 pandemic and the evolving situation, the YSC Board recognizes the organization has special responsibilities related to the Tahoe Cabin.

Here is our current situation in Tahoe:

1) All major ski resorts are closed. Most likely for rest of season.

2) Already stores, gas stations and local infrastructure are burdened with dwindling supply and closures.

3) Recent massive snow fall has made travel in the Sierra dangerous and limited.

In addition, the latest directive from 6 Bay Area counties to shelter-in-place should be taken seriously.

Due to all these factors we are taking the following actions today.

YSC Actions Today

1) Tahoe cabin will close until at least April 7.

2) Refunds will be given for all cancellations

Stay local as the State has recommended which will decrease contact and help diminish the load on the local Tahoe community during these uncertain times.

Please direct any Tahoe questions to tahoe@ysc.org

Med Venligst Hilsen,

Jesper Lundbaek, Cabin Master.

Ulrika Lidstrom, President
