Our Team
Randall Chastain
Randall was hired as the camp’s food service manager in 2012. His wife Paige and two daughters Kiah and Etta have enjoyed making camp their home ever since. When Randall is not in the kitchen, he enjoys outside work, whether operating one of our tractors or helping Matt build something new. He is always up for a game of disc golf or talking about coffee. So, if you have some spare time, visit him in the kitchen and get to know him and his heart.
Dena Saunders
Greetings from Camp Alta. My name is Dena Saunders and I serve as the Office Manager here at camp. My husband Scott and I moved to Alta more than 45 years ago. We love the area and calling this place home. In the early days, our church met on the camp grounds and we even lived here at camp for a short time. In 1995, I officially became part of the Camp Alta Family—and have never looked back. Camp Alta has seen us transition from newlyweds to grandparents—and every season has brought joy in serving the Lord! Spending time in this beautiful setting that is dedicated to the
glory of God is a gift!

Some highlights of my job, in no particular order include;
-meeting and hearing of new ministries and partners
-serving desserts
-seeing God move in the lives of those we serve
-leading a staff determined to love, serve and host you well
I look forward to meeting you and encourage you to reach out for availability or just to hear about what’s going on at Camp Alta.
Robbie Weber
Hey there! My name is Robbie Weber and I‘m the Operations Manager at Camp Alta. My story with Camp Alta started as a summer intern, where I not only fell in love with Camp Ministry but also met my now-wife. After that first summer, I’ve worn many hats gaining experience in all camp has to offer. From cooking in the kitchen, cleaning cabins, all the way to chopping down trees. In my new role I am working to make sure every aspect of your stay at Camp Alta goes smoothly!
If you are looking for me when you are at camp you will probably find me on the espresso bar, in the office, or chasing around my two boys
Our Camp
Set in the beautiful Sierra foothills, Camp Alta spans 20 acres and has been a place of spiritual renewal since 1955. For over sixty years, guests have experienced God’s love and found rest and inspiration here. This special place has a way of refreshing and energizing those who take time to connect with God in its peaceful surroundings.
