Progress House

Substance Use Disorder Residential & Outpatient Services

Progress House was originally opened in 1971 at the Camino Hotel, Camino, California, under the direction of the El Dorado Council on Alcoholism. In 1976, when the Gann Initiative (Prop 113) was passed, funding for Progress House was cut from the county budget. Progress House closed for two months, and was reopened by a group of caring, concerned individuals who recognized the real need within the community. In August 1978, Progress House, Inc., was formed as a nonprofit organization and continues to this day to help those who suffer.

EMPOWERING BUSINESSES AND PROMOTING EL DORADO COUNTY FOR ALL

T

he El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce is celebrating its 110th anniversary in 2025. A dedicated staff and a board of directors guide the chamber, committed to its mission of supporting and promoting a strong, healthy and diverse business community to preserve the quality of life in El Dorado County.

“We represent the entire county from border to border, helping our communities thrive by protecting and advocating for local businesses at local, state and federal levels,” said CEO Laurel Brent-Bumb. “Our 550 members, from mom-and-pop shops and legacy farms to large corporations, benefit from our programs which include education, networking and marketing to support and promote them.”

“We represent the entire county from border to border, helping our communities thrive by protecting and advocating for local businesses at local, state and federal levels.”

—Laurel Brent-Bumb, CEO

Leadership El Dorado, the chamber’s leadership program, is now in its 17th year, and is designed to grow local leaders through education, training and familiarization of how the county works. “This program produces leaders with skills, motivation and vision to forge a path toward an improved region and a healthier community,” said Brent-Bumb.

“Participants reflect a balance between the public and private sectors and attend monthly sessions during the year-long course.”

The chamber also operates the El Dorado County Visitors Authority, promoting the area’s attractions to visitors from near and far. “We do tremendous outreach on social media and print and distribute 65,000 visitors guides annually with efforts concentrated on the county’s western slope attractions, from historical Gold Rush towns and wineries to adventure sports and the family farms of Apple Hill,” said Brent-Bumb.

The El Dorado Film Commission is another critical component of the chamber, generating up to $7 million in economic impact. Countless television shows, commercials and movies have been filmed or partially filmed in El Dorado County’s scenic beauty, including scenes from “Top Gun: Maverick” among the county’s snowy peaks and scenes from “Memoirs of a Geisha” along the American River.

“El Dorado County is rich with history, culture and pioneer spirit,” concluded Brent-Bumb. “We will continue to help our communities and businesses thrive while protecting our renowned quality of life.”

ES

Welcome to El Dorado County El Dorado County provides opportunities as diverse as the landscape of California for enjoying the outdoors. Gold was discovered in Coloma in 1848 signaling the beginning of the California Gold Rush. New towns appeared overnight. State Highway 49 follows the historical trail through the Gold Country. The foothill area offers a range of activities from riding on historical stage-coaches and panning for gold to rafting on the American River.

The foothill area east of Placerville is one of the most fruitful in the state, from vineyards and orchards to Apple Hill, an area rich in agriculture. Lake Tahoe is an easy drive up U.S. Highway 50 from Sacramento through the spectacular Sierra Nevada mountains. Activities include — but are certainly not limited to — skiing, hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, river-rafting, fishing and fruit picking.

EL DORADO COUNTY:

A Community of Educational Excellence Dr. Ed Manansala, County Superintendent of Schools

HIGH ACHIEVEMENT, BRIGHT FUTURES

E

l Dorado County is a place of community where supporting our students takes priority. With an unwavering commitment to student success, El Dorado County schools provide top-tier education at every level, ensuring children are equipped to thrive academically, professionally, and personally. With high-performing schools, innovative programs, and collaborative community efforts, the region stands out as a premier destination for academic excellence.

At the heart of El Dorado County’s success lies a powerful partnership between 15 school districts, charter schools, two renowned community colleges, and the El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE).

These organizations work together to optimize resources, improve infrastructure, and recruit passionate educators who dedicate themselves to empowering students. The result is a community that values education, achievement, and lifelong learning.

El Dorado County attained an impressive 93.9% high school graduation rate in 2023-24, surpassing the California state average of 86.4%. This success reflects the county’s comprehensive educational approach, which combines instruction in subjects like Mathematics and English Language Arts with Career Technical Education (CTE) and alternative learning programs tailored to individual student needs and interests.

These programs ensure students in El Dorado County succeed academically while fostering the engagement and support systems needed to inspire students to stay connected and prepared for longterm success. El Dorado County’s chronic absenteeism rate for 2023-24 was 13.7%, significantly lower than the state average of 20.4%. This success is largely due to educators’ commitment to building strong relationships with students and families as well as providing targeted support to both student groups and individual students, helping them

become better prepared for college and careers.

As a result of this system of support, graduating students leave El Dorado County equipped for bright futures, earning acceptance to top-tier universities like UCLA, Stanford, Yale, and the U.S. Naval and Air Force Academies. Local educators instill the skills and confidence students need to excel, whether they pursue higher education or enter the workforce upon graduation.

INNOVATION TO MEET COMMUNITY NEEDS

El Dorado County schools embrace innovation, creating programs that meet student and community needs. For example, in response to a healthcare shortage impacting the region, EDCOE partnered with Marshall Medical Center to launch a specialized Medical Assistant Training Program in Cameron Park. Students gain in-demand skills locally and graduate ready to contribute

2025 El Dorado County Relocation & Business Guide | 13

to the healthcare workforce — an initiative that perfectly demonstrates the county’s forwardthinking approach to education and community development.

Quality educators are the cornerstone of a thriving educational system. With the creation of EDCOE’s Teacher Residency Program, the county has taken a step forward in addressing the community's teacher shortage. The program has emerged as a strong pathway for inspiring the next generation of teachers through a full year of handson, experiential learning under the guidance of a highly skilled mentor teacher. The program spans several school districts and county-wide programs, thanks to a partnership with the Teacher College of San Joaquin (TCSJ). Upon program completion, Teacher Residents pledge to teach within El Dorado County for at least four years, building a skilled and stable teaching force.

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE: STATE AND NATIONAL RECOGNITION

El Dorado County schools are frequently recognized for their excellence at the state and national levels. Recent honors include: ■ 2024 California Distinguished Schools: ■ C amerado Springs Middle School (Buckeye Union School District) ■ H erbert C. Green Middle School (Mother Lode Union School District) ■ M arina Village Middle School (Rescue Union School District) These schools exemplify outstanding achievements, innovative teaching methods, and unwavering dedication to student success.

■ 2024 National Blue Ribbon School: ■ Lake Forest Elementary School (Rescue Union School

District)

Recognized for closing achievement gaps and achieving high academic standards, Lake Forest Elementary is a shining example of what’s possible when students are given the support they need to succeed.

EL DORADO COUNTY ASSISTED LIVING You may have heard what seem’s like interchangeable terms when it comes to options for senior living. Senior living options like independent living, assisted living and memory care may all sound similar. The reality is that these titles represent very different types of care. Independent living communities are designed for active seniors who want the convenience of resort style amenities and the support of a community.

Assisted living provides help with activities of daily living as well as a full spectrum of convenient services. Memory care communities are designed to support the wellbeing of people living with cognitive change.

Clearly, there are several different types of senior living communities to choose from. No matter your current level of need or if those needs change, you can find a community to meet them.

LOCATION Besides having different types of communities, there are also a variety of locations to choose from. The right location can make a significant difference in your satisfaction level with the community you choose. This is because you can choose a

LOCAL SERVICE YOU CAN DEPEND ON! We’re Here When You Need Us.

location that is close to the things that are important to you such as family, cultural activities and your doctors. With so many available locations you should be able to find a community that provides the care you need in an area you desire.

AMENITIES In addition to the type of community and location, you have a variety of amenities to choose from in senior living communities.

Possible amenities include housekeeping services, fitness center, salon services and restaurant style dining. Each community offers a unique combination of amenities.

Senior living communities offer so much more than simply a place to live. The variety of amenities can help you develop the lifestyle you always imagined living after retirement.

These different elements give you a wide range of options when it comes to choosing a senior living community. You can get the living arrangements you need along with the location and amenities you prefer. There is no need to settle for a senior living community that does not meet your needs or standards.

Take the time to research and tour several communities until you find the one that is the best fit for your needs and lifestyle.

EL DORADO COUNTY AGRICULTURE Farming is vital to the county economy EL DORADO COUNTY is different …

in so many ways. One would think agriculture is identical no matter where it is grown. Many of our crops may be the same, but the way they are marketed is dramatically different and evolved out of necessity. But the economic impact to the county is profound.

It is estimated that the impact of all kinds of agriculture to the County’s economy totaled approximately $632.3 million in 2022. The wine industry contributed approximately $251.8 million and ranch marketing added $352.7 million. Timber is also a vital crop that has waxed and waned throughout the decades.

Timber is harvested from both private and federal lands and still accounts for $28 million to the local economy.

The history of local agriculture goes back to the days when many miners found they could make more from growing food than panning.

The influx of people trying to strike it rich necessitated feeding them and there were many who accommodated that need.

One of the first in-demand crops was wine grapes. Miners could not exist by food alone and wanted liquid fortification. Wine grape growing faded with the advent of Prohibition, but the climate was also perfect for many tree fruits.

now includes over 40 wineries and vineyards from all over the county. The Fair Play Winery Association represents over 22 South County growers. Other smaller winery groups also invite visitors to their sites.

It was a natural for Christmas trees to be planted in a county that includes thousands of acres of forest. The El Dorado County Christmas Tree Growers Association has over 30 members, but many additional tree farms are located in every corner of the county and draw families to experience the tradition of cutting your own tree.

The El Dorado County Farm Trails Association was started in the early ’90s and represents well over 120 members in every section of the county, growing, raising and selling everything from alpacas to vegetables.

Citrus trees are grown in the “banana belt” known as Gold Hill. Olives are being grown and artisan olive oil is being produced. There are over 5,200 colonies of bees and even 47 acres of nursery products grossing $2.4 million in 2021.

In the early ’60s vineyards began to be planted again. Local soils and climate are perfect for growing wine grapes. The initial pioneers were quickly joined by others and ultimately three unique wine appellations were officially recognized. The El Dorado Wine Grape Growers Association represents over 75 vineyards throughout the county. The El Dorado Winery Association, EDWA, was formed and 22 | 2025 El Dorado County Relocation & Business Guide

El Dorado County began with a gold rush.

There are still miners seeking that wealth, but agriculture, in its many forms, is the constant economic engine that significantly contributes to the economy. That success also moves people to get into farming. There are those who derive their entire income from farming, but many more only augment their livelihood this way.

Full-time and part-time farmers are proving you can stay on the farm.

Pears were king and had a nation-wide reputation for quality. But in the early ’60s what was initially considered a major catastrophe, turned into a huge boon to local agriculture.

Pears became blighted and died. Foresighted farmers in Camino decided to replace them with apples and instead of packing and sending fruit elsewhere, they were determined to import tourists. The Apple Hill Growers® began in 1964 and has recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.

It now has well over 50 member farms and is recognized throughout the country as a model of direct sales.

This marketing strategy of selling directly to the consumer was adopted by numerous other county agriculturalists.

Cattle, calves, goats, and other livestock account for $13.1 million annually. There are 233,000 acres of rangeland and 1,581 acres of irrigated pasture that combine to total $6.1 million in annual economic benefit. Even the once-threatened pear crop brought in over $895,075.
