Hello Northern California and friends of Mt. Lassen Assemblies of God Camp and Conference Grounds. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Rev. Walter L. Trumbo whom some of you already know from my 40 years of Pastoral ministry in Northen California. Since retiring from the full time Pastorate, we've been afforded the time to invest in the camp we've loved through all these years and have been donating time and labor helping with maintenance and upkeep in Mineral over the last 24 months which has resulted in being appointed to serve on the board... a definite honor. First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who have served our camp during our long history, as well as to the dedicated staff, volunteers, and supporters who have tirelessly worked to make Mt. Lassen Assemblies of God Camp and Christian Conference Grounds the special place it is today. Your commitment and passion have created a welcoming "Mountain Top Retreat" for countless individuals, families and church groups and I am humbled to be a part of the team that helps to keep it that way. With the recent shut downs that were mandated by the pendamic as well as the close down resulting from the Dixie Fire last year, we on the Camp Board were excited to open up for the varying church camps that took place here this year including our own A/G camps; Family Camp, Senior's Camp, Youth Camp and Kid's Camp. We're also excited about the many upgrades and improvements we've been able to provide this year and we're looking forward to full capacity camps next year. In fact, we're already booking 2024 camps and the schedule is already looking busy. If you're needing a beautiful, rustic camp in the tall pines for your church camp next year, contact us today to get on the schedule. Subsequently, Gary McFarland, our Camp Board President felt it was time for him to step out of the position after serving faithfully, for several years, as ministry demands have increased for him personally and I found myself appointed to the position for the rest of this year. Humbled by the faith expressed by the board in my ability to fill the position, I'm struggling to get up to speed on the many areas of responsibilities that come under the jurisdiction of our very capable Camp Leadership as we plan for this winter and next years camps. Additionally, I have assumed responsibility for our Camp's online presence. Updating and improving this important vehicle will be a substantial focus for me over the winter months to come and I would welcome any input / suggestions that might be beneficial to that end. My personal email address is wltrumbo@gmail.com or you can use the "Contact Page" elsewhere on this website. Mt. Lassen Assemblies of God Camp and Christian Conference Grounds has played a vital role in nurturing faith, building community in fellowship, and fostering personal development for generations resulting in exponentially diverse ministry (countless full time ministers and missionaries) around the world as well as in many of our local churches in Northern California and elsewhere. As we move forward, I am committed to preserving and enhancing these core values.
In Him, "Pastor" Walt Trumbo, President of the Board, Mt. Lassen Camp and Christian Conference Grounds. Mount Lassen Assemblies of God Christian Conference Grounds

With a New Year - Registration for Family Camp 2024 COMING SOON! We are so excited to share with you all of the exciting improvements to our camp! We're thrilled how God has continued to bless these grounds as we grow and improve. As we continue to be a effective ministry resource for so many churches and groups throughout Northern California, Nevada and Oregon... we invite you to join us at Family Camp 2024!
Stan Wagner is happy to announce the placement of the new Senior Camp Registrar for 2023!
Mary Johnson, a true blessing for camp, as we move ahead to our grand re-opening in 2023. Please direct all questions regarding Senior Camp 2023 to: Mary Johnson Senior Camp Registrar email: pjmaria@sbcglobal.net phone: 530-941-6077
In addition, we are also thinning trees for fire mitigation and creating a standard mapping system for new guests to navigate to grounds.
Lastly, we are working with upgraded electrical at the RV Meadow as well as putting implements in place to repurpose Snob Hill for additional RV trailer space. For our Seniors, Camp is an opportunity to disconnect from the bustle and enjoy the beauties of the mountain, while getting closer to God. As work continues on the grounds, we know that the added projects will create safety hazards - as well as detract from the best experience the grounds has to offer. Stay tuned for progress updates as we are excited to show you all we’ve done! If you would like to support any of these projects, through labor or financial donation - please give here, or contact us to get on the volunteer list. As we prepare for the 2022 Season of Change, the Camp Board has walked the grounds and made a final assessment of the projects we'd like to take on this Season. We continue to post updates on progress made. If you feel lead to support one of these projects, either through your time or by donation. Please check out our Donate or Volunteer tabs to get started. Seasonal Volunteer Requests are Now Open!
Seasonal Volunteers are assigned to assist with the many "Season Of Change 2022" projects scheduled! Generally for our May work-month - after a snowy winter, the camp requires lots of work to prepare for spring and summer camps, including raking the grounds for fire protection, repairs, and general cleaning. Volunteers are required to prepare the campground for peak season. All lodging and meals are covered for volunteers. If you are interested in coming to Mount Lassen Camp to serve in that capacity, sign up today. Season of Change - Postponement of 2022 Camp Spring/Summer Season In April, we take a full month to rally volunteers and staff to open the grounds for Spring and Summer operations. This is a labor of love and a physically challenging task. Working through cuts, scrapes, tired muscles and the typical 12 to 16 hour day... our volunteers and staff work tirelessly 6 to 7 days a week... to get the grounds open and ready.
It takes an army and it takes commitment. When the first camps arrive, we want this facility to be operational, safe and ready for them to experience God in a great way! In 2022, we are rounding a new corner in the legacy of this camp. After evaluating some of the hurdles we were to face in getting us up and running - we have decided to postpone our 2022 Spring / Summer Year opening... so that we can continue to modernize these grounds and bring you the very best this mountain has to offer! This means we will also not be having a 2022 Family Camp this year. What can you expect from us? Continued social media and blog announcements detailing the exciting projects we're tackling this year... and possibly some surprise events to come! What are we doing? Last year, we completely replaced and installed a new water system for the camp. Gone are the days of "Cold Showers" and "Low Water Pressure". That's a thing of the past! THIS YEAR, we're putting in new septic and electrical... support for larger RV's and more RV Spaces that are clearly defined! How can you get involved? We have a ton of minor projects too - and these will be announced through the Season. Continue to pray with us as we embark on this endeavor. Building a better camp, to stand the test of time, while we wait for the Lord's return. We promise in 2023 you'll see some amazing improvements as we navigate this Season of Change. Suspension of Volunteer Requests
Released August 20th 2021 Mineral still remains under evacuation and all volunteers (with the exception of Pastor Loren and Lani) have left the grounds. Phil and Lee are on standby to come up as needed. In their place, the National Guard has sent up a Kitchen Crew to fill the gap. With that being said, we are suspending the call for volunteers and thank all of you for your willingness to help. As of right now the camp continues to maintain its function as a heliattack base for CalFire and the National Guard. The DixieFire is still in close proximity to the camp, thus the sustained evacuation order. Lastly, as of today – to assist with aiding fire operations, the entire Lassen National Forest has closed its camps and recreation facilities to the public to ensure safety. Please continue to keep all of those involved in your prayers. We will update the public as more information comes in. https://www.nps.gov/lavo/learn/management/current-fire-acitivity.htm Due to the ongoing developments surrounding the #DixieFire - and out of an abundance of caution, Stan Wagner and the Camp Board have felt it will be best to cancel this year's senior camp 2021. We are saddened by this development, but are confident this is the correct course of action.
All camps scheduled after August 21st are still on schedule. We understand this is a fluid situation and will update our social media channels as more information comes in. If you have any questions regarding your registration fees or would like to hold your spot for next year's Senior Camp 2022 (dates TBA) please contact Judi Woodard by phone at (408) 205-7547, or by email at judisings@hotmail.com. Please continue to pray for the Camp, the Firefighting personnel, all of those who have lost so much... as well as those who are still in harm's way. As we continue to balance the health and safety of our campers, as well as provide unique facilities to experience God and proclaim the Gospel; we are taking the Governors guidelines seriously. As of this last update (06/27/20) here's what we are doing and have accomplished.
It is important to note, that as of 06/27/20 - we have written approval from the National Forest Service as well as Tehama County Public Health, to open and operate in accordance to our COVID-19 plan. (Which the entirety of the plan may be read below). |
