Camp Alandale

Camp Alandale exists to help abused children find healing. Go to our website www.campalandale.org for more information.

Children ages 9-18 who are living in foster homes or group homes in Orange and Riverside Counties are invited for a week in the summer and a weekend in the winter. In the summer there are 2 children for each counselor and a total of 24 children. In the winter there are 12 children and 12 counselors for a weekend. After a child has been to camp, no matter where they live or who they are living with, they are always eligible to return to camp twice a year, every year, until they graduate from high school.

Our Story

Camp Alandale is a Christian camp for children in the Foster Care system. Our mission is to introduce abused children to the life changing and healing reality of Jesus Christ and equip them to lead meaningful and productive lives. We accomplish this by providing summer and winter camp programs for children ages 9-18. Every camp session is intentionally small so that each child receives the proper amount of supervision, love, and care needed to make them feel safe, valued, and protected. Our goal is to have a 2:1 camper-to-counselor ratio in the summer and a 1:1 camper-to-counselor ratio in the winter.

Camp Alandale is a Christian non-profit organization that serves abused and neglected children through a mountain camp program. We are not affiliated with any church or denomination. The ministry of Camp Alandale is fully supported by donations of time and finances from churches, companies, and individuals.

Since 1980, over 4,000 children have been touched by the love of Jesus Christ.
