This National Integrated Drought Information System website shows a timeline map of drought conditions in the United States from 2000 to present by week. The map timeline shows that Camp Wolfeboro was located in the extreme drought category during the entire of the 2021 camp season. Extreme drought, according to NIDIS, means: "Livestock need expensive supplemental feed; cattle and horses are sold; little pasture remains; fruit trees bud early; producers begin irrigating in the winter
Fire season lasts year-round; fires occur in typically wet parts of state; burn bans are implemented
Water is inadequate for agriculture, wildlife, and urban needs; reservoirs are extremely low; hydropower is restricted".
During the same time period most of the rest of California was also in drought conditions.
