Sturtevant
About the Camp
Perhaps
the most unique United Methodist Camp in the country,
Sturtevant's Camp is located in the Angeles Forest above
Sierra Madre. The camp is accessible only by a scenic
moderate-grade four mile hike. The camp is a great
experience for hikers looking for a special getaway adjacent
to the Los Angeles basin. At the camp you will find
recreation opportunities which include a volleyball court,
water slide and zip line. And you will want to take a turn
on the spectacular tree swing. Enjoy a special program or
worship experience in the 100 year old Ranger Cabin made
from hand hewn logs. Sturtevant's camp is a self-cooking
camp with 40 beds and semi private and communal bathrooms.
You can make arrangements to have your gear and food packed
in on the last working mule pack train in the San Gabriel
Mountains. The camp generates its electricity from a micro
hydro generator using the water flow from the adjacent
stream. Sturtevant's Camp provides that special camp or
retreat experience for youth, families or adults looking to
transcend time and reconnect with the magnificence of God's
creation.
