California Office of Historic Preservation
CAMP is underway in California and
we invite you to join us!


What?
The Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program (CAMP) is the signature training program offered by the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC) to “build strong local preservation programs through education, advocacy, and training.”

Certified Local Governments (CLG), and any community with a historic preservation commission or board, will benefit from this free training opportunity. Our September training event hosted by the City of Glendale was a great success, and we have more events coming!

Where?
CAMP trainings for 2021 are hosted online by California CLG communities and the Office of Historic Preservation. Fully funded by CLG grant funds, the trainings are offered at no cost to participants. Pre-registration is required.

When?
