In 1942 Edna Ohlendorf and her husband Fred (he was Supervisor of Music for Long Beach School District) wanted to give his All City Junior High Orchestra an outing at the end of a very successful summer season of wartime effort performances. They headed to Arrowbear where F.J. Schinnerer (Edna's father) had a church camp.
For one week the fifty-six campers combined musical studies with an outdoor mountain vacation in an extremely rustic situation culminating in a concert at camp. Campers had a very worthwhile experience and parents and teachers saw the value of a musically oriented vacation.
The seed was planted. The next year everyone wanted to return. The retreat grew into a multi-session summer camp with full activities.
