camp oliver's history

Camp Oliver has been a favorite site for children since 1949, when Lawrence and Mary Oliver donated part of their vast ranch in Descanso, along the Sweetwater River, to the Sisters of Social Service, who developed a children’s summer camp and retreat grounds. In 1990, camp was incorporated as a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. Children enjoy the love, warmth, laughter, tears, friendships and memories which remain throughout the years.

Camp Oliver has a beautiful setting enhanced by mature California live oaks, manzanitas, wild lilac bushes, and natural hiking trails, originally a Kumeyaay Indian seasonal site. We have six cabins, each sleeping 15 people, a lodge perfect for a meeting place, a swimming pool, indoor and outdoor fire rings, a fully operational kitchen, dining hall, basketball court, sports field, and more.
