Camp Pendola offers a variety of programs to meet your needs.

Overnight Camp takes place at our site near Camptonville. Camp Pendola is nestled in the Tahoe National Forest two hours northeast of Sacramento. The facility consists of 40 acres of pine, oak and Pacific Madrone trees with 24 buildings to serve the campers who visit. Our Lady of the Sierra Chapel sits prominently in the middle of the camp. Campers enjoy swimming and paddle boating in the pond, archery, hiking throughout camp and the surrounding area, sleeping out under the stars and opening and closing campfires.  We offer mini and full week traditional camp sessions for campers entering grades 1-12  in addition to special programs for middle school and high school youth.

Day Camp is hosted a different parishes around the Diocese of Sacramento. The locations change each week during the summer. And no matter the parish our campers enjoy nature activities, arts and crafts, games and spiritual activities like they would at Camp Pendola. We offer 3 day camp sessions for campers entering grades 1-7 .
