Originally proposed as a permanent center for Christian study and celebration, the camp has become a major recreational destination for families. There are 50 houses that are year round residences and around 400 summer cabins plus several lodges and group settings. The Tuxedo Inn was originally used as the office until it burned down in a fire in 1921. It was located where Redwood Camp is today and rebuilt off of Mt Hermon Road. The second picture is the Canyon Suspension Bridge, built in the early 1900s and still in use at the time of the publication.
