Welcome to Camp Edison

Protect Our Forests: Leave Your Firewood at Home
When you visit Camp Edison, be sure to leave your firewood at home, and either collect or buy firewood here in Shaver Lake. Tree-killing insects and diseases can lurk in firewood and cause new infestations that can have devastating effects to our forests, agriculture, and communities. Beginning January 1, 2015, only locally sourced wood will be allowed into Camp Edison.
We Need Camp Hosts
Hosts are needed May 2023 to October 2023. Contact Pamela at pamela.brown@sce.com.
