Centennial Yearbook

To kick off 2026, we are launching our online Centennial Yearbook, celebrating 100 years of Walton’s Grizzly Lodge summer camp in pictures. Check out the collection to take a journey through Walton’s history. You’ll find photographs from our start in San Francisco and Lagunitas, to establishing camp on Ice Pond Road in Portola, along with photos of the many wonderful summers and campers who have spent their days at camp. We would love to hear from you if you recognize any faces or have photos for us to add to our collection.

A lot has changed over the years, but much has stayed the same. Our fifth generation family is honored to carry on the traditions that began with Mom and Pop Walton 100 years ago.
