Camp Lolek

Camp Lolek, hosted by the Saint Edward Retreat Center in the San Gabriel Mountains, offers a structured and enriching summer camp experience for children and teenagers ages 8 to 17. The camp provides a supportive environment through ACA-accredited programming, focusing on building self-esteem and social skills through shared activities like archery, hiking, nature exploration, and swimming. The program is designed to foster unity and an appreciation for others and nature within a safe, supervised setting.

To support social development and peer connection, campers stay in cabins with trained counselors and peers of a similar age. The camp emphasizes community building through group activities such as nightly campfires, skits, and camp songs. This structured social environment is ideal for campers working on interpersonal skills, teamwork, and navigating group dynamics in a nurturing, supervised atmosphere.

The camp provides a well-rounded daily routine that includes three meals and a snack each day, prepared by a certified camp cook. While the camp has a Roman Catholic affiliation, the focus remains on providing innovative outdoor experiences that challenge campers to develop new skills and expand their knowledge in a beautiful Wrightwood, CA setting.
