Harbor Masters 76th Anniversary
Conference at Historic
Asilomar Conference Grounds
The 76th Anniversary California Harbor Masters Conference will be held
at the Asilomar Conference Grounds,
a California State Park on the Monterey Peninsula, in Paci昀椀c Grove.
Asilomar opened in 1913 as a Leadership Camp. In its 昀椀rst year, 300
young women attended Asilomar’s
昀椀rst YWCA student leadership conference. By 1921, Asilomar was able
to accommodate 500 people, and was
open year-round as a meeting and
Grace Dodge Chapel
conference space for religious groups,
college conferences and women’s
training courses.
In 1952, the Director of California
State Parks expressed interest in purchasing Asilomar for its dune ecology. Four years later, in 1956, legislation was passed to make Asilomar, a
91-acre state park, owned by the state
of California – and operated by the
city of Paci昀椀c Grove.
