Camp Arnaz

The Monarch Breeding & Research Institute at Camp Arnaz is nestled into the scenic lower Ojai Valley on 36-acres. Affectionately called "Camp Arnaz," the property serves as a platform for different age-level troops to engage in outdoor education, place-based learning and environmental education through a variety of activities that reflect the interests and needs of the girls and the skills and abilities of the adults who support them.

Since its dedication in November of 1982, thousands of Girl Scouts, non-profit organizations, and private parties have enjoyed the beauty and enrichment of programs and outdoor events at the Arnaz Program Center.

The Monarch Breeding & Research Institute at Camp Arnaz is available year-round for weddings, non-profit events, field trips, day camps, overnight camping trips for all size groups and much more!
