Donate a Camp in California
Summer camps, church camps, retreat centers and campgrounds across California, reviewed confidentially and decided in writing.
Camps in California
California's camp tradition is centered in its mountains: the San Bernardino and San Jacinto ranges above Southern California, and the Sierra foothills from El Dorado to Tuolumne counties. Camps and conference centers there serve large urban populations.
Wildfire exposure and insurability, water systems, defensible-space requirements, permitted occupancy and conditional use permits are the core of most California camp reviews.
Mustard Farms reviews proposed camp gifts one property at a time. A submission opens a confidential conversation — it is never an acceptance, nothing transfers without a written decision, and no outcome, timeline or tax result is promised. Consult your tax advisor.
