Mount Bullion Youth Conservation Camp, located in Mariposa, CA, is a joint operation between the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The camp's main focus is to provide incarcerated hand crews to assist local, state, and federal agencies in emergency response efforts, such as wildfires and floods. In addition, the camp participants engage in year-round community service and conservation projects.
Originally established as a youth camp, Mount Bullion Conservation Camp was converted into an adult conservation camp in 2004. With a capacity of 100 inmates, the camp has undergone modifications to accommodate its new purpose. Situated within the CAL FIRE MMU Ranger district, the camp plays a crucial role in fire protection responsibilities for Mariposa, Merced, and Madera Counties. The camp also collaborates closely with CAL FIRE, conducting training programs and maintaining a strong working relationship.
