We specialize in camps and conferences and would welcome the opportunity to host your next retreat or invite you to one of our special programs.  Please take a few moments to explore the site to see if one of our three camps will meet your needs.   All of our camps are located in the beautiful Southern California mountains and offer scenic beauty, recreational opportunities, delicious food, and  comfortable accommodations.  We take groups as small as 20 and as large as 190.  Our prices are fair and our staff will treat you like kings and queens. Most Southern California cities are within two hours driving distance from one of our camps, so call today and reserve your spot.

To minister to all people by providing special places set apart from daily life

that offer experiences for persons to encounter God through Jesus Christ

and live transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

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.
