The Episcopal Conference Center Oakhurst (ECCO) is located just 12 miles from the South gate of Yosemite National Park and Mariposa Giant Sequoia Grove. ECCO has been serving the religious, educational and non-profit conference and retreat needs of Fresno, Madera, Mariposa and the rest of California’s Central Valley since 1982. We welcome groups of all faiths and denominations. As a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin, we accommodate groups of all kinds, from intimate retreats of 15 to conferences of 150 or more with banquet facilities for 200. Providing lodging, meals prepared from fresh and wholesome foods, meeting space and a variety of recreational activities, ECCO is the perfect all-season, mountain setting for your next retreat, event, conference, or wedding. If the date of your special day is flexible, ECCO may be the perfect spot for your Christian wedding. ECCO is secluded, tranquil and located 12 miles from the south entrance to Yosemite National Park. We’re an hour north of Fresno, at an elevation of 3,000 feet—high enough to escape the central valley fog yet low enough to enjoy a dusting of snow in the winter. ECCO’s is a colorful, four-season climate. Our grounds encompass 160 acres forested with oak, incense cedar, manzanita and ponderosa. For your ceremony, you may choose between our beautiful St. Francis of Assisi Outdoor Chapel, overlooking an inviting pond where our swan holds court, or Sumner Walters Chapel, with its beautiful stained-glass window depicting Yosemite’s Firefall. Complete your event with a reception in Lyles Dining Hall, where we can accommodate up to 200 guests. Our kitchen staff is happy to prepare menus ranging from casual appetizers to formal sit-down banquets. Prices vary according to the menu selected.
