Camp Junipero Serra
john morris:
Hello, I was a camper in 1968 and a junior counselor in '69 at Camp Junipero Serra on Jackson Lake. I believe that it was a Catholic boys camp, the Catholic girls camp was Teresita Pines. I would like any information about Camp Junipero Serra. How long was it active, other campers memories, personnel, and what happened to it. I can find no reference to it on the internet and satellite imagery shows nothing. It had stables with horses, who ran that? Thank you in advance for your response.

The Lions Club now owns or leases Teresita Pines. You can see photos on MSN images. Some of these camps have $1 per 100 year contracts with Non Profits.

Thank you for that information. Perhaps I'm asking the wrong question. Does anyone know when Camp Junipero Serra closed? Thank you, John

I would also suggest contacting Terry Graham (Graham_Ranch) on this forum, he knows a lot about the history of the area (as you can see in the Wrightwood History section of the forum.
Wrightwood also has a small museum, I don't know if there is a phone contact number.
Oh, and also the Wrightwood History website. Some of the articles may lead you to your answer through other contacts:
