Lions Lodge, a gift of the Whittier Lions Club in 1932, serves as the central dining and kitchen facilities, plus a whole lot more. Indoor twilight games/activities, dance nights, and campfires during inclement weather also take place here. Cabins making up and performing ditties (short songs) are often used to determine the order in which cabins can enter for a meal. Lions Lodge is also a living history of camp with plaques mounted on the rafters and walls since 1932. Ralph’s corner, in honor of camp alumni Ralph Botti, is located at the back of Lions Lodge next to the fireplace and contains additional camp historical artifacts.

Lions Lodge’s dining capacity is 200 people. It has overhead heaters to keep everyone warm during the winter months. If you want a specific menu or types of foods for meals, please contact the camp executive director, Suman Rana, when you submit your lease paperwork.
