We’ve unearthed a gem, in the heart of Mammoth. Finally a full featured camp, in one of our favorite places…Mammoth.

Introducing: The Station Camp. True to our deep-deep roots, this is a great place for church groups needing multiple facets of a weekend. Meeting space, large cabins, and all-kinds of activities on camp grounds or in the town of Mammoth.

Winter, is always a feature of Mammoth, but don’t forget the summer goods, too. Ski or Ride Mammoth or June Mountain with your group; yet all the non-riders still have plenty to do day or night.
