The Chapel celebrated its centennial in 2005. It is a lovely place for services or quiet meditation with an adjacent sitting deck.
St. Dorothy's Rest was founded in 1901 by the Rev. & Mrs. James O. Lincoln as the first free summer camp in California. The Lincolns were active in the Episcopal Church and were adherents of the Arts & Crafts movement, with its emphasis on a simple and artistic life in harmony with nature.
The influence of the Lincolns remains strong at St. Dorothy's over a century later. We are the oldest continuously operating summer camp in California. During non-summer months we host retreats and conferences for churches, non-profit organizations, schools, and those on a spiritual path.
