Campground
Nestled in the majestic San Bernardino Mountains at 7,000 feet is Cedar Lake Camp, a 270 acre campground located in Big Bear Lake, surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest. With a private lake of its own, the camp provides many amenities for groups in a captivating mountain setting, making it a perfect location for Tilden Summer Camp.
Campers
The camp is open to boys entering grades 5-9. To attend camp, please fill out the camper application. There are a limited number of spots, so acceptance is not guaranteed.

Dad's Day
Fathers are invited to join Friday of the camp to watch their sons in action. You'll be able to watch your son compete in the last event of the Iron Man (the long distance race), spend free time in the activity of your choice, and join for the camp fire and snack. On Saturday, you can attend Mass before departing from the camp. If you're interested in partaking in Dad's day, you can sign up through the link in the Apply tab. The fee to attend Dad's day is $110.
Father-Son Clubs
After the camp is over, we organize father-son clubs throughout the greater LA area: in Pasadena, Orange County, Ventura, and others. They typically meet monthly and are a good opportunity to meet other dads and spend quality time with your son, bonding over a particular activity (like cooking a steak or changing a car tire).
