What is Camp Mather? Camp Mather is a family camp owned by the people of San Francisco and managed by the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department. Camp Mather is 180 miles east of San Francisco on the edge of Yosemite National Park and the Hetch Hetchy Valley. Camp Mather is part of San Francisco’s history. It originally was built as a workers’ camp and sawmill for the construction of the O’Shaughnessy Dam in the early twentieth century. Converted to a family camp in 1924, Camp Mather has been beloved as an off-the-grid refuge from city life and is a treasure for generations of San Francisco families. Supporting Camp Mather is our mission. Friends of Camp Mather (FoCM) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting, enhancing, protecting, and supporting the traditional, recreational, social, environmental, and historic aspects of Camp Mather. If you love Camp Mather, we consider you a friend! |
