Located in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills near the scenic South Yuba River and Tahoe National Forest, Camp Woolman is a summer camp that embodies values of community, creativity, stewardship, exploration, and simple fun. Kids come to learn, play, make friends, and live in an accepting community where they can truly be themselves. Woolman strives to be a place where everyone experiences radical acceptance for who they are, is treated with dignity and respect, and is surrounded by the physically, mentally, and spiritually healing power of nature.

In-camp days include songs and silent reflection, lots of games, some community chores, choice activities, workshops, relaxation time, and lots of playing. Our activities include arts and crafts, nature connection, wilderness skills, swimming, farm education, sports, and games. Each camp session is accented by our signature wilderness backpacking trips and either an art & farm focus or a river rafting trip (new this summer!)

Woolman is a non-religious organization that draws inspiration from its Quaker roots. We look to the Quaker values of integrity, equity, simplicity, community, stewardship of the Earth, and peace as pillars for creating a safe and open community. Camp Woolman is a place of acceptance, where staff and campers are welcome regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.
