Kennolyn Camps

Today is Tour Day! Kennolyn has a long standing tradition of opening up for tours in the last weekend of April and this year is no exception. While things look a bit different the key ingredients remain the same. This is always the moment where summer begins to feel real and we say BRING IT ON!

Fall day camp is going great! Come join us after your distance learning day is done.

We've had a great time this week with our first Fall Camp. Distance learning + camp = FUN. We're also doing after school camps too!

As you may know, the Creek fire in Fresno and Madera Counties reached our camp at Huntington Lake. Much of the area surrounding the lake itself appears unaffected, including our waterfront, boathouse and dock facilities. Sadly, the camp itself sustained major fire damage. There had been nearly 100 years of camp memories created there - starting in 1923 with the Huntington Lake Camp for Girls and then Camp LaSalle until Kennolyn became its steward in 2018. The lake is, of ...course, the heart of our program at this camp so knowing that our lake facilities are intact is wonderful news. All members of Kennolyn’s Caldwell family were onsite at Huntington Lake when the Creek fire started. Thankfully they evacuated safely along with hundreds of others at the lake for Labor Day Weekend. As the evacuees drove down the hill, over 2 dozen fire trucks were racing up the mountain to protect Huntington. A heart-felt thank you goes out to all these fire fighters, along with our Huntington Lake Volunteer Fire Department headed up by Fire Chief Brother Chris Donnelly and Asst. Chief Brad Driscoll. While we are heart-broken by the fire’s impact on our camp, we are excited for the opportunity to re-envision our lake camp program. We are also emboldened with the knowledge that our original camp in the Santa Cruz Mountains can continue to serve our camp families as it has been doing for 75 years. #creekfire #summercamp #huntingtonlake #kennolyncamps
