About the Location

Santa Teresita Youth Conference Center is a Catholic Diocese of Fresno retreat facility located on 25 acres at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Sequoia National Park.

St. Junipero Serra Youth Chapel features large windows to showcase nature all around. The sleeping arrangements are two large dormitories equipped with bunk beds, restrooms, shower facilities, and two chaperone rooms accommodating 5 adults per room (each with a private restroom and shower). Campers can also enjoy outdoor pool, basketball court, sports field, amphitheater, and more.

Getting there

The retreat center is about 4 hours drive from NorCal or SoCal, in the Diocese of Fresno. Most campers carpool with other local campers on Friday afternoon or night. If you are interested in carpooling, indicate so in your registration form and ExCo can help arrange carpool groups.

Santa Teresita Youth Conference Center

Get Directions

“Before I went to CACCLC last year I found myself in a state of just going through the motions with my faith. I reached one of those points where my faith was stale, uninspired, and stagnant. I think CACCLC really helped to reawaken my passion for Christ, particularly through the faith-sharing, testimonies, and presence of other Catholics and priests who are also struggling on their journeys to holiness.”

— Matthew W.

“Although it piqued my interest, I was a little hesitant to go alone ... After much doubt and deliberation, I convinced myself to just go. When I arrived, I was shocked to find so many Chinese Catholics under the age of 50 gathered in one place that weren’t related to me! I felt like I had stumbled into a nest of rare and mythical beings! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming that I didn’t feel out of place at all.”

— Jacqueline K.

FAQ

What's included in the registration fee?
The registration fee includes 4 days and 3 nights lodging at Santa Teresita Youth Conference Center, 9 meals (Friday dinner to Monday lunch), a camp book, a CACCLC souvenir, a limited edition t-shirt, drinks and snacks, plus materials and administration fees used for the programs during the camp.

What does CACCLC stand for?
It stands for California Asian Catholic Community Living Camp, as our demographics have grown from a primarily Chinese Catholic community into a Pan-Asian American Catholic community. We welcome friends of any ethnicity to join us at camp. We usually have campers from Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Filipino, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Latino, Caucasian, and mixed backgrounds. Check out more of our history, and how we’ve evolved to now form The Living Camp.

Do I have to be Catholic to attend CACCLC?
Nope! You're most welcome to join us, regardless of your faith background. We typically have several non-Catholics at CACCLC and just ask that you be respectful to our Catholic traditions and keep an open heart during all the activities and discussions during the camp.
