Camp Woolman

Located in the Sierra Nevada foothills near the South Yuba River, Camp Woolman is a summer camp dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, and accepting community for all children. Rooted in Quaker values of equity, peace, and integrity, the camp emphasizes radical acceptance, ensuring that campers of all races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities are treated with dignity and respect. This supportive environment is ideal for children who thrive in a community that celebrates their authentic selves.

The camp program offers a diverse range of sensory and therapeutic activities, including arts and crafts, nature connection, wilderness skills, swimming, farm education, and sports. Days are structured to balance high-energy play with moments of calm, featuring songs, silent reflection, workshops, and relaxation time. For campers seeking more adventure, signature wilderness backpacking and rafting trips are available, providing opportunities for growth and exploration in a natural, healing setting.

Camp Woolman operates as a non-religious, non-profit organization and offers overnight sessions, as well as family and adult camp options. The camp's focus on stewardship and community chores helps foster responsibility and connection to the Earth.
