The Camp Wawona Road Update Is Approved
M
ariposa County, located in central California, approved the submitted plans for Camp Wawona and the Central California Conference to move forward with their requested updates, including replacing Camp Wawona’s main road. This long-awaited approval will allow Camp Wawona, nestled inside the Yosemite National Park, to begin building a two-lane road to the camp with all new infrastructure, a new dining hall, a new medical building, a new chapel, and new cabins. Camp Wawona’s road was the first priority. “The road’s infrastructure is dilapidated because it is about 85 years old,” explained Jackie Phillips, capital campaign director for the Central California Conference. Right now, the tentative plan is to complete the road before next year’s summer camp begins. There are contingencies in place as well, because the timeline will depend on how quickly the team of contractors can begin the project.

It also includes a new dining hall, a new medical building, a new chapel, and new cabins. They can now move forward with these exciting, muchneeded updates. “This is just the beginning of what we dreamed for 24 years. As soon as the road is done, we are going to build either the medical building or the dining hall, depending on which building has the most money donated,” said Phillips.
