InterVarsity's training and retreat center located on Catalina Island

Located in a quiet, secluded cove on Santa Catalina Island, Campus by the Sea invites its guests to step away from busyness and experience God's rest. Accessible only by boat, the 70 acres of land is laced with wooded hiking trails and scenic coastal views that have renewed generations of Christ's disciples. Owned and operated by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, the camp offers programming for a wide variety of audiences, including Junior High, High School, College, and Family camps. Open March through December, the facility can serve a maximum of 220 guests at any one time.

The Lord Jesus invites His disciples to periodically come away to a quiet place and rest. As the stormy pressures of the modern world increase, so grows the importance of places like Campus by the Sea. Come to experience God's love, and grow in love for Him. Come to learn to love His Word. Come to grow in love for His people of every culture and ethnicity. Come to find out His purposes for you in His world. Come to Campus by the Sea.
