The vandalized cross was found in the first week of Bible camp in Silverado Canyon. No campers were staying overnight at the time of the incident.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a possible hate crime after staff at a Christian retreat center in Silverado Canyon discovered a 14-foot cross sawed down Thursday morning, according to the department.
Camp staff found the vandalized cross during the first week of Bible camp, which included more than 300 staff and campers from kindergarten through eighth grade, according to a Mark McElrath, executive director of the retreat center, said the vandalism occurred on the retreat center ranch in Black Star Canyon, about a mile from where main programming took place. The incident did not impact the camp experience and programming will resume next week, after a pause for the Fourth of July, he said.
