It takes about 2 tanks of gas to drop your child off at camp from Los Angeles or the San Francisco Bay area. That's about $100 just to drop your child off at Camp! Luckily, we love your kids very much, but not enough to keep them forever... so at the end of their Camp week, you'll need to drive back to Camp to retrieve them. There goes 2 more tanks of gas, and another $100 into Chevron's pocket!

So 4 tanks of gas and a couple of hundred bucks later, won't you wish that your kids' Camp started on the bus?

This year the Camp Committee has made arrangements for busses for campers (and staff) from Northern, Central and Southern California... and the price is right too! For just $75 round trip (from Northern or Southern California) , your child can travel to Camp with their friends in the air conditioned comfort of our spectacularly priced charter buses!

If you don't take the bus, please at least find some other family to carpool up with. This mandate also applies to the Central Valley families. We know that it's only about and hour from Fresno to Camp, but multiply that by 2 round trips and add in the fact that the 'ol pickup only gets 7 miles per gallon and that equals a whole lot of time and money that could be better used for something else.

If you still insist on driving, please do not arrive before 2:00pm on the first day of Camp. On the last day of Camp, campers will be dismissed by cabin, at 12:00pm, once their cabin has passed inspection for cleanliness.

DIRECTIONS FROM THE NORTH:

As Highway 99 brings you to Fresno , look for exit signs to Kings Canyon National Park and Highway 180. Follow 180 east about 40-50 miles until you pass the 4000 ft. elevation sign and
Snowline Lodge. See "SNOWLINE LODGE" below.

DIRECTIONS FROM THE SOUTH:

Follow Highway 99 north. Near Visalia take Highway 198 through Visalia to Highway 63 (north) to Highway 180 (east). Pass the 4000 ft. elevation sign and Snowline Lodge.

SNOWLINE LODGE:

About .8 of a mile past Snowline Lodge, there is a large brown road sign indicating "Armenian Church Camp", etc. followed by a set of mailboxes with our mailbox. Turn left and go up the hill. Follow our "Armenian Church Camp" signs into the camp, turning left at each "Y" in the road. It is approximately three miles to camp from the turnoff at Highway 180.
