Friends of De Benneville Pines

Supporting our church home in the mountains

Camp De Benneville Pines
Do you know about Camp de Benneville Pines, our UU camp? It is a forest retreat center located in the San Bernardino mountains east of L.A. where you can enjoy nature, share in a community of peers and relax with friends and family. 

Friends of de Benneville Pines is  a local group of camp lovers who support it by publicizing camp activities, raising funds for camperships and maintenance, and working at de Benneville to maintain and improve the facilities. We gather monthly for a potluck and short meeting to plan and carry out activities.

To get to know the camp, plan to attend our annual intergenerational All Church Camp in June or the many adult events. Treat your kids to the elementary, junior high or senior high camps held every summer. We welcome you to come to the Friends of de Benneville Pines potluck usually held on the third Sunday evening of each month.  Check the Window for announcements.
