I was a young teen campter there in the 90's and it was an amazing experience and memory. Beautiful setting for fellowship, and that was by far one of my favorite summers growing up. The facilities are like something from a movie.

Plan Your Retreat

When you bring your group to Camp Alta, you’re not just reserving space—you’re stepping into a place shaped by prayer, hospitality, and a desire to share Christ’s love in tangible ways.

Our mission is simple: sharing Christ’s love through a boundless ministry of hospitality. That means we care deeply about the people who step onto these grounds. Whether you’re planning a church retreat, youth gathering, or ministry event, our heart is to welcome you well, serve you faithfully, and give you room to be fully present with God and with one another.

Camp Alta can host up to 140 guests and offers comfortable lodging, gathering spaces for worship and teaching, and meals prepared with care. More than amenities, we offer support as we walk with you as you plan, listening to your needs and helping create a retreat that serves your group’s purpose.

Set on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, this is a place to slow down, unplug, and rest in the beauty of God’s creation. Our prayer is that your time here would be marked by meaningful conversations, shared worship, quiet reflection, and a renewed sense of what God is doing in and through your community.
