Document Description
The applicant requests a Major Modification, Case No. PL21-0051, to Conditional Use Permit, LU10-0069, to authorize the phased reconstruction and continued operation of a Jewish recreational camp known as “Camp Hess Kramer.” The request includes replacement, restoration, and reconstruction of damaged and destroyed buildings, vehicle and pedestrian bridges, and outdoor activity areas. Walkways and trails, water, and wastewater infrastructure, electrical, communication systems, storm drainage facilities and lighting will also be repaired, replaced, or constructed. Segments of Little Sycamore Creek will be stabilized, restored, and enhanced to improve overall functionality and protect infrastructure. The Camp will continue to offer a variety of activities including, but not limited to, archery, basketball, climbing, ropes, soccer, tennis, swimming, hiking, arts and crafts, dancing and singing, and worship. The camp is private, and no daily public use is offered. However, Camp Hess Kramer is available by reservation and lease to private groups for camping from August through June, when the summer camp is not in session. Use of Camp Hess Kramer by Ventura County non-profit organizations will be strongly encouraged.
