Camp Pendola is a Catholic resident summer camp owned and operated by the Diocese of Sacramento. Camp Pendola began in the summer of 1960 when it opened a summer camp in Camptonville, California, on land donated by the Pendola Family in honor of Frank Pendola in 1959. Using the beauty of nature, the joy of friendship, the power of prayer, and the challenges of adventure, we seek to create a space where young people, 7 to 17, can have an encounter with Jesus that will change their lives.
