Pali Mountain

Pali Mountain Pali Mountain is a 74 acre site that is home to many diverse programs such as outdoor education, summer camp, group retreats, festivals and events.

We are a unique venue to host your events and getaways. In 1999, Andy purchased a 74-acre site near Lake Arrowhead, CA – formerly Camp O-Ongo – to fulfill his dream of building the best overnight summer camp available for children. Nestled on 2,000 acres of pristine wilderness in the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains, Pali Adventures Summer Camp has continually grown to create one of the most ren

owned camps in the Southern California region and has since become home to two additional companies on the site – Pali Institute and Pali Retreat & Conference Center. To accommodate for the success and continuous growth, Pali Mountain completed one of the largest construction projects seen in the San Bernardino Mountains in recent years. With 12 new 1,000 square foot cabins and a brand new 27,000 square foot dining hall and multi-purpose recreation center, the new project provides a significant number of new jobs for the community and gives more children, families and groups the chance to experience the time of their lives at Pali Mountain.

Not all classrooms have walls.

For years, Pali Mountain has given students the opportunity to learn through hands-on experiences in the great outdoors. But we knew there was another story to tell—one written in the sands of the high desert.

We created Pali Institute Acton because learning isn’t just about knowledge. It’s about connection.

🌿 Connection to the land—understanding how ecosystems thrive in one of the toughest environments on Earth.

🔥 Connection to history—stepping into the shoes of pioneers, indigenous communities, and explorers who shaped California’s past.

💡 Connection to the future—learning sustainable practices, conservation, and survival skills that prepare students for tomorrow.

At Acton, students don’t just study history, science, and survival—they experience them firsthand. This is more than an outdoor program. It’s a place where students will challenge themselves, grow as leaders, and see the world through a whole new lens.

🌵 A new kind of learning starts here. Be part of it.
