About Camp Hi-Sierra

Where is Camp Hi-Sierra?

Nestled deep in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and surrounded on all sides by pristine National Forest, it’s easy to understand why so many call Camp Hi-Sierra their home away from home. As the closest Scouting America camp to Yosemite National Park, Hi-Sierra offers Scouts unmatched access to one of California’s most iconic wilderness landscapes. For 75 years, our friendly, knowledgeable staff and unique program offerings have delivered life-changing experiences to Scouts and families alike.

Historic Logging Community

Camp Hi-Sierra is a Boy Scout summer camp located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, a short distance off Highway 108 near the town of Long Barn, California.  Set in a historical logging camp, Hi-Sierra embraces this living history opportunity by immersing Scouts in a fully themed frontier town.
