About Camp Emerson

With over 100 years of experience, Camp Emerson has a rich history of providing quality outdoor programs. Nestled in the mountain community of Idyllwild, California, Camp Emerson is known for its cool mountain temperatures and natural beauty. Trickling through the middle of camp the soothing sounds of Strawberry Creek make for a relaxing and calming atmosphere.

The camp boasts a friendly and well-trained staff, crucial for ensuring the safety and enjoyment of everyone. Our Camp Cook keeps our campers well fed with delicious, healthy meals, and the dining hall encourages a sense of community during mealtimes.
