Overview
Camp Wawona (CA) Project is one of our many efforts based in North America. Each year, Maranatha works with organizations in the United States and Canada to provide volunteer labor for various construction or renovation projects.
Camp Wawona has served as an outdoor sanctuary for summer campers and retreats since 1931. It sits on 30 acres of land inside Yosemite National Park and is the only SDA owned camp that sits inside a national park. Please consider joining us as we assist to remodel a lodge which will include upgrading lighting, flooring, electrical, plumbing as well as upgrade the kitchen, dining, laundry and storage areas.
