Camp Oljato

Oljato is a magical place! Camp Oljato (Ol-JAY–toe) was founded 1941. The Oljato summer camp program is very popular and is generally fully booked.

The name Oljato is Navajo meaning “Star Light on the Waters.” It is located at 7,000 feet in the Sierra’s (Kaiser Peak Range) on the shores of Huntington Lake. Access to the heavily wooded camp requires a one-mile boat trip across the picturesque lake. From the moment of arrival to the last day of camp, participants are immersed in outdoor adventure. Oljato accommodates approximately 350 scouts, a

dult leaders and camp staff during each of the six week long summer sessions. Waterfront activities are a key element of the Camp Oljato experience. Huntington Lake is a well-known sailing lake and Oljato is fortunate to have one of the most sheltered coves on the lake. This location allows scouts to learn and explore on comparatively calm waters. During a week at summer camp, virtually all camp participants engage in several waterfront activities. Additionally, the camp has magnificent giant pines and plenty of wildflowers with a mountain stream and no poison oak. There are platform tents within the eleven variable sized campsites. Each site has running water, tables & fire rings. Restrooms & showers are located nearby. In the center of camp the Trading Post and rustic Dining Hall can be found. Surrounding these buildings are our newly constructed premiere program structures and areas for Nature, Scoutcraft, Handicraft, and Waterfront that have all been completed in the last 7 years. Due to popular demand the new Latrine and shower house with individual stalls were added as well as the Health lodge and Cooks Cabin. We hope that you will truly enjoy the benefits of these incredible program areas. The unique Lucy Stern Stone Lodge overlooks the lake and surrounding property and we encourage the campers to visit this important piece of the camp's history.
