Welcome to Camp St. Sava

​

Nestled in the scenic Sierra Foothills of Jackson, California, Camp St. Sava offers a serene and inspiring retreat experience. This Orthodox Christian camp is situated on a historic property that has been a beacon of community and faith since its establishment.

​

Rich History and Idyllic Setting

​

In 1961, 173 acres of picturesque land were purchased to create a space dedicated to spiritual growth, fellowship, and recreation. The camp's first buildings— including the main hall, dormitories, and a pool—were completed by 1962. In 1968, the KSS Hall was added, further enriching the property’s amenities and its ability to host events of all sizes.

​

In 1998, 63 acres of the property were sold to the Sutter Medical Group, paving the way for the construction of the Sutter Amador Hospital. This hospital, located adjacent to the Mission property, offers 24-hour emergency outpatient and inpatient care, providing peace of mind to all who visit the camp.
