A Sanctuary for Transformative Experiences
Nestled in a forest of coastal redwoods in Sonoma County, Westminster Woods Camp and Conference Center offers year-round opportunities for connection, reflection, discovery, and growth. Whether you're here for School Programs, Summer Programs, Challenge Course, Guest Group Rentals, or Weekend Programs you'll find that the Woods is a special place.
School Programs
Enter the world of Outdoor Education! Westminster Woods offers exceptional overnight and single-day Environmental Education and Character Development programs for primary and secondary school students. Whether they’re discovering micro-organisms in our creek, climbing to new heights on our Challenge Course or gazing at the crystal-clear night sky, students have endless opportunities for exploration and hands-on learning.
Summer Programs
Our two principle programs, Camp Heartwood and Camp Soulspring, lovingly referred to as the Heart and Soul of Westminster Woods, are both residential summer camps. These two programs comprise the majority of the summer calendar with each program offering multiple six-day sessions. We also provide two specialty programs, The Grove and Friendship Camp, that offer a unique experience catered to a specific population.
“When I was in the 4th grade - I came to Westminster Woods. From that first moment at this place, I knew it was somewhere I would want to call home forever.”
JOIN US ON JULY 31ST FOR SUMMER CELEBRATION!
This summer we are bringing back our beloved Summer Celebration to end the Summer on a high! Register for Summer Celebration ahead of time! The day will include free lunch, activities on the big green field, the chance to explore The Woods and connect with generations of campers and Alumni. It will be intimate and wholesome and represent everything we all love about The Woods.
Those who register early for Summer Celebration get first pick for lunch — a guaranteed free meal for you and everyone you sign up with!
If you choose not to register for Summer Celebration ahead of time, we cannot guarantee there will be enough food for everyone. To make sure no one goes hungry, please register in advance.
From 12pm-1pm, Chris Rhodes will be speaking in the Homestead finishing out our Summer Worship Series. After that, the festivities will begin! Want to join us for Summer Celebration but worship isn't your thing? That's totally okay! The worship portion is open to all, regardless of your religious or non-religious background. If you'd prefer to arrive after the morning worship, feel free to show up around 1pm. Parking is behind the front office, and from there you can walk over to the Big Green Field where games and activities will be waiting. Lunch will begin once worship wraps up. Be sure to stick around into the later afternoon — there will be some special announcements you won't want to miss!
While we love dogs, we are a dog free campus. Service animals are welcome, otherwise please leave your furry companions at home
