Our facilities
Camp Sylvester is home to 26 buildings, with 16 of them being sleeping cabins, making it ideal for retreats for large groups. Every year Camp Sylvester holds a Camp Cleanup Weekend, where cabins are refurbished, updated and Camp is left looking brand new. This is done with the generous help of our partner, the Stanislaus County Farm Bureau.
Alongside the cabins and halls are a nurse's cabin, cook's cabin, The Canteen (Camp store), basketball and volleyball courts, a football and baseball field, archery range, nature trails and a large amphitheater complete with a fire pit.
