Nestled in the foothills of the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains south of Yosemite National Park, the Evergreen Conference Center, Oakhurst lies above the winter fog and just below the snowline at 3,000 feet. This unique and enchanting Christian conference center occupies approximately 160 acres, lushly forested with pines, oaks, and manzanitas. Its meadows and woods give a home to many species of native wildlife.

Easter Sunrise Service.
Imagine the rising sun, the magic of Easter morning, gathering with your friends and family, as Fr. Gordon Kamai of Christ Church leads the celebration of Christ's resurrection. An optional hot breakfast in Lyles Dining Hall, at a very reasonable price, follows the service. Reservations are required for breakfast.
Opera at Oakhurst.
Join us for our 17th annual spring celebration of Opera with featured speaker, Dr. Simon Williams who brings a new perspective and insight to our program. This year we feature “Grand Opera” tracing this magnificent style of exotic and colorful historical eras and geographical locations from the operas of Rossini, Wagner, and Verdi. It begins with a welcome reception and dinner on Thursday. Each day’s classes build participants’ knowledge of the topic, followed in the evening by a video presentation on our giant screen. A gala candlelit dinner on Sunday evening is capped by an evening program featuring Dr. Simon Williams. A wrap up the following morning concluding with the unveiling of next year's opera adds to the excitement. This popular series sells out quickly, so early reservations are recommended.
Thanksgiving at ECCO, an annual tradition.
Imagine how wonderful Thanksgiving can be when you can relax with old and new friends, eat delicious food, enjoy the beauty of our surroundings, and no dishes to wash!

For those choosing to spend the night, a new tradition is the ringing of the bells, a fun and entertaining event. Consider an optional stay over that evening with departure on Friday morning after breakfast. Come join us; it's fun!
