This Friends of Camp Mather website provides guidance and information to new and old campers alike. Here you will find news and information on Camp Mather itself, week specific information as available, background information on Friends of Camp Mather, and much more.
Camp Mather is the San Francisco family camp that was built as a sawmill for the construction of the O'Shaughnessy Dam in the 1920's 150 miles east of San Francisco near the Hetch Hetchy Valley. The border of Yosemite National Park is a mile up the road and Yosemite Valley is 18 miles south. The camp is beloved by many as an off-the-grid refuge from city life and is a treasure for generations of SF families. |

Current News
Camp Mather closed for Summer 2020 Due to Covid-19
Due to the unfortunate Covid-19 crisis, we are having our first summer in memory without Camp Mather. While this is sad news, we are grateful to SF Rec and Park for prioritizing the safety of all Campers. If you are seeking more information on this season's closure please visit https://sfrecpark.org/443/Camp-Mather for the best source.
We will all be looking forward more than ever to future Mather summers, and we are committed to helping Camp Mather come back better than ever! In the meantime, we can all reflect on our favorite Mather memories, from campfires and horseback rides, to passing our first Birch Lake swim test. While we may not have Mather this summer, we remain grateful to have our Mather community.
