The Most Unique Camp in the Angeles National Forest.
Historic Sturtevant Camp, was established in 1893. It is the only camp from the Great Hiking Era which is still in operation in southern California's San Gabriel Mountains. Surrounded by the largest virgin stand of Big Cone Spruce trees in the United States, Sturtevant's canyon setting provides a unique opportunity to experience the wilderness.
Sturtevant Camp is located in the beautiful Big Santa Anita Canyon above the communities of Sierra Madre and Arcadia in southern California. This is roadless country and requires the visitor to travel by foot through a great variety of vegetation indigenous to southern California. Check out the menu items on the left for all the details.

Calling by:
KATHY ANDERSON
Known for her flowing contras and fast-moving, exciting squares, Kathy Anderson is a strong advocate of well taught, clearly called squares and contras. She has brought her enthusiastic style to dancers across the US, Canada, and Europe, and has long been a favorite caller at dances and dance camps on the West Coast. Her smooth vocal delivery and repertoire of quirky contras and high-energy squares make for a fun, challenging dance experience.
Kathy has been calling and writing dances since 1982. She was introduced to squares and contras as a player of old-time banjo and piano music, and soon progressed from dancing to calling. Dances Kathy has written include Carmen's Hat, The Deep Well, The Long Road, Southern Nights, Swing Into Matrimony, and Weave the Line.
