Yosemite Sierra Summer Camp was established in 1972 to provide Christian adventure camp experiences for children 8 to 16 years old. While most west coast Christian camp and conference centers offer weekend or week long programs, founders Jim and Manya Slevcove designed longer stays of 2 or more weeks to provide for deeper learning and broader growth. Bass Lake, in the shadow of Yosemite National Park, was selected as the ideal location for YSSC. A commitment to health and safety, excellent staffing, creative and wisely paced programming, and diverse activities results in campers:
The Kuljis Family
In 1998, current executive directors Steve and Sara Kuljis took over the helm from Sara’s parents, the Slevcoves. As second generation owners/directors, they carry on YSSC’s legacy of partnering with parents in helping shape youth. The program remains a unique balance of traditional and adventure activities, small and large group teaching, age appropriate activities with quiet moments and wacky fun.
