Camp History

The Julius Klein Conservation Camp opened on March 1, 1986. The camp consist of 11 CDCR personnel and 14 LACO personnel. The camp consist of 6 inmate hand crews and additional in-camp support inmates. The camp is located in the Angles National Forest near the San Gabriel River.

Julius Klein provides a variety of services to the citizens of Los Angles County and the State of California. LACo fire personnel provide excellent training, which prepares inmates to safely conduct wild land firefighting operations. They maintain a high level of safety, physical conditioning, wildland knowledge, and work production. In addition inmates have an opportunity to learn skills in construction, woodworking, carpentry, electrical, general mechanics, welding, concrete and other general contractor type skills.

The camp is an excellent environment for inmates to learn valuable life skills, including dedication, commitment and teamwork.
