Nestled among the pines and wheat and canola fields in the beautiful Palouse region of northern Idaho, Camp Sanders offers a wholesome environment for growing physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Since 1935, Camp Sanders has offered a rustic camp and retreat experience to groups from all over the inland and pacific northwest.
This unique facility offers a separate self-contained lodge with meeting room with a view of Little Gem Lake from the deck, shower & restrooms, full commercial kitchen and bunk-style sleeping rooms. In addition, there are individual cabins and quad housing. All have electricity and heating; most have restrooms. The rooms include beds with mattresses; however, linens are not provided. The entire camp is served by a central bath & restroom house.
In October of 2024, our dining hall, with deck and a sleeping wing, was burned to the ground in an arson-caused fire. The camp Board is busy with future replacement plans and fundraising. For this camping season, the above-mentioned lodge has been turned into the main eating and meeting space for the facility. The commercial kitchen has been expanded, and seating for meals and lounging have been added. Two other cabins have been remodeled to add additional lodging options.
Camp Sanders also has 12 RV spaces with hook-ups.
