Sierra Pines Camp operates 37 buildings on 35 acres surrounded by the El Dorado National Forest and minutes from Desolation Wilderness. Alpine Beauty but great food and rustic but comfortable facilities provide a great value opportunity to get away from it all. The camp operates on a use permit from the US Forest Service and holds up to 250 total. The camp is five minutes off HWY 50, is accessible year-round, and operates at 6,900 feet above sea level. The incline is steep and not easily navigable by those in poor health. The trees are large, hiking is amazing, and the Lodge where we meet as well as eat is comfortable. In the summer we operate a 125,000 gallon swimming pool for your recreational pleasure, but canoeing in Echo Lake is just a ten minute drive away, or Lake Tahoe just ten minutes beyond that.

Summer and Winter Program camps are available to all youth. See the camp website for current sessions. Generally, there is one session for each age group for winter camps and one for each age group for summer camps. The rest of the year the camp is rented  by various organizations wishing to plan and run their own sessions. see our myspace page under sierrapinescamp or look at utube for videos of sierra pines camp.
