Camino Norte Conference

The Camino Norte Conference was a junior college athletic conference with member schools located in the San Francisco Bay Area. The conference was formed in 1968 with eight initial members, two of which were newly established schools: Cañada College and Skyline College. De Anza College, Solano Community College, and West Valley College joined from the Coast Conference. The College of Marin and Santa Rosa Junior College moved in from the Golden Valley Conference, and Contra Costa College was formerly a member of the Golden Gate Conference.[1] The conference was disbanded after the 1993–94 athletic year.[2]
