Monthly Giving One-Time Donation Update My Donation
As we race towards 2026, our 65th anniversary year, we have so much for which to be grateful. Thanks to our dedicated donors and helpful volunteers, camp is looking better than ever, and we have managed through mudslides, road washouts, and highway 38 falling off the mountain! Your financial support will go towards balancing our budget and covering the costs of a roof replacement on cabin 6, erosion control, road maintenance, tree removal and camper scholarships.
Due to an incredible tropical storm on September 18, 2025, highway 38 literally slid off the mountainside a few miles from camp. Cal Trans estimates it will be closed through spring 2026 for repair. Camp was closed for weeks after the storm while road crews hauled off tons of rubble and rocks covering Jenks Lake Road and highway 38. Thank you, Cal Trans, and USFS for your hard work in getting Jenks Lake Road reopened! (Hwy 330 is the alternate route to camp)

There are two ways to help support our camp, a one-time donation or by joining our Monthly Giving Program.
One-time donations are ideal for helping to address camp’s immediate needs and offer donors flexibility to contribute as much as they can afford at this time. Consider a direct donation from an IRA!
Monthly Giving provides ongoing, reliable support to help cover operational expenses, builds a community of dedicated supporters, and ensures camp’s sustainability. Our monthly givers sustained us during the Covid closure and have had such a positive impact on weathering through our various emergencies over the years.
