In April of 2005 the Synod of Southern California and Hawaii created Presbyterian Camp & Conference Centers, Inc., (PCCCI), as a separate 501(c)(3), to take ownership of the three Synod camps: Big Bear Conference Center, Wylie Woods and Rancho La Scherpa.  PCCCI operates as an independent entity; however, it serves the Presbyterian churches in the seven Presbyteries which make up the Synod.  This affiliation is affirmed by the fact that the twelve men and women who serve on the PCCCI Board of Directors are selected from the seven Presbyteries of the Synod.



In December of 2005 the Board of Directors employed the Reverend Rick Harrison to serve as the first President/CAO of PCCCI.  Rick has over 20 years of experience as a camping professional and comes to PCCCI after serving 15 years as the Executive Director of Calvin Crest Conference Center.
