Sierra Voices #5 | Camp Sierra Presented by Jim Gregory

Presenting: Camp Sierra

Presentation Summary:
Camp Sierra, in the Sierra National Forest, was established in 1917 by Methodist ministers and lay members as Sierra Chautauqua, which was for education of all kinds, arts, concerts, and social activities for Methodist families and their quests and an opportunity to enjoy a respite in the Sierra’s while escaping the heat of the summers in the San Joaquin Valley.

Camp Sierra is currently composed of two entities: 71 recreational residences, or cabins, of which four were lost in the Creek Fire. There is also the conference association, an independent non-profit organization that provides housing and meals for organized groups of campers. An overview of Camp Sierra, past and present, will be given.

Speaker: Jim Gregory
Jim Gregory is a fourth-generation cabin owner at Camp Sierra.
