Camp Bloomfield was a 45-acre (180,000 m2) campground in the Santa Monica Mountains near Malibu, California, United States.
As the largest of its kind in Western United States, Camp Bloomfield served hundreds of campers and family members free of charge each summer and was accredited by the American Camping Association (ACA).
Camp Bloomfield was started in 1958 by Norm Kaplan with help from the Seabees and students at Pepperdine University.
Starting off with a simple campfire circle, tents were later introduced in the first couple years.
Campers were able to experience various different cultures, reflected by the diversity of staff members, consisting of many young people coming from around the world to serve as counselors and specialists as per the founders request.
