The Camellia Koi Club of Sacramento is a nonprofit, educational group of koi enthusiasts serving the central California valley and foothills surrounding Sacramento. We have monthly meetings with great food, a speaker, and a discussion of koi-related topics. We publish a monthly newsletter, have yearly shows, sponsor a pond tour every other year, take field trips to koi dealers, and help each other. Our club was started 26 years ago by a few koi lovers and has grown to over 100 families.

If you would like more information about koi or our club, please continue to browse through this web page or contact our president, Ellen Evans (kde2@comcast.net).
