History

Established in 2013.

Siderman Family Camp and Conference Center directors have been running summer camps for over 14 years. This historic property was built by the first Sierra Nevada Forest supervisor and then made into a children’s camp by the late Judge Marcia Putney, 1965.

The directors saw the site as a perfect place to host summer camps for children and host tourists the other 9 months. Purchased in 2013, the bathrooms and dining area have been updated and the cabins refurbished to maintain the authentic rustic appeal.
