Read MoreApple Hill is a delight to experience, our staff agrees!
Read MoreWe have a self-contained lodging option, Claar House, which may be rented during this time of the pandemic as a place to getaway and enjoy nature.
Read MoreThis 3 person tensile hammock is suspended between three trees and is super easy to set up, but not as easy to get into.
Read MoreThere is a lot more to the little town of Applegate, where the Applegate Jesuit Retreat Center of the Sierra resides, than meets the eye! I’ve been finding joy over these past few months in exploring some of the lesser known parts. Please enjoy some photos I took at a nearby overlook with beautiful views of the American River. Connecting with nature is an important way to cope with the turbulent times so we do it as often as we can.
Another way we have been keeping busy is with small updates to make your next stay even more comfortable. Staff members Jean and Marcy spent the day giving a fresh coat of paint to the “Jack and Jill” bathroom in Redwood Lodge. It will make a huge difference when it’s done!
Michael is hard at work, this week we are trying to locate a leak in the irrigation system. If you’ve ever tried to find a water leak…

Read MoreWhile it’s quiet in the kitchen at Monte Toyon Camp this week, our cook Maria had some time to try out some new recipes.
Read MoreIt’s a busy day today at Applegate Jesuit Retreat Center as we continue…
Read MoreTake a look at this stunning lake just a little over an hour away from Camp Lodestar. With beautiful scenery on the way, this lake would make a great day trip from camp. The flowers continue to spring forward in the meadow and have been fondly named “the minion flower” as they look similar to the characters from the Minion movie. Toad Hall is also receiving some cooling installation so when our guests return, there will now be cool air in the summer heat.
The slowness at Monte Toyon allows for a nature walk through camp when normally times are too busy to see the beautiful splendor. We caught this busy bee at work pollinating this gorgeous bloom. The Albino Redwood and cave tree never disappoints and reminds us that time stands still when we stand in wonder at how long this tree has stood still and seen the world through many revisions.
As part of our customer care, we want you to know we are here, we are listening and we are happy to answer your questions.
