Nestled in the Angeles National Forest and surrounded by mature oak and pine trees,
Saint Edward Retreat Center (SERC) offers a bit of heaven, just over an hour away from downtown Los Angeles. Energetic days under deep blue skies are followed by restorative nights beneath the stars. SERC embraces Catholic-centered programming committed to nurturing faith through engaging, inspiring and rewarding activities.
SERC offers complete facilities to host Catholic retreats in a peaceful, mountain camp setting throughout the year. Additionally, SERC hosts Camp Lolek, a traditional summer camp offering a broad range of daytime activities such as archery, hiking, nature exploration, singing, sports and swimming, as well as nightly campfires and skits. The creatively designed programs challenge each camper to participate in innovative and enriching outdoor experiences that boost self-esteem, expand knowledge and develop new skills, while nurturing an appreciation of others, nature and God.
