This is a birthday year for us – Quaker Center is turning 75.

Over Labor Day weekend, from August 30th to September 2, 2024, we will hold a series of events and celebrations to mark this celebration. Please join us as we recall Quaker Center’s extraordinary history, celebrate its current vibrancy and work, and look ahead together towards the future.

Please consider joining us for any part of this celebration. You’ll be able to register for the entire event or just part of it.
Registration will open shortly.

Friday, August 30th – Welcome friends!
We’ll open up the long weekend with a celebratory dinner, followed by a campfire and, of course, singing.

Saturday, August 31st – Long live Quaker Center work camp
A one-day work camp to help get our center ready for this gathering. Whether you’ve come to 30 workcamps, or if this is your first one, come get a taste of Family Work Camp. Work together through the morning, and have fun in the afternoon and evening.

Sunday, September 1st – The Center is Quaker
Come one and all from far and wide to attend a very special Meeting for Worship on the Occasion of Quaker Center’s 75th in the Redwood Circle. Followed by, of course, a celebratory potluck, and an afternoon rededication ceremony.

Monday, September 2nd (Labor Day) – Open House and Birthday Party (10 am – 5 pm)
On Monday, we’ll invite our town, neighbors, community, valley, and the whole world to come visit Quaker Center and help us celebrate this anniversary and kick off the next 75 years. We’ll have lunch, music, guided tours, some very special ribbon-cuttings, presentations, games and activities, and of course, a really big cake. Not to be missed.

Want to join the party, but can’t attend? Whether you can be here in person or not, your support and participation are essential to keeping Quaker Center going. Please consider making a generous donation to mark this occasion. Read more about our 75th here.
