Welcome to Quaker Center

The Ben Lomond Quaker Center is a nonprofit organization under the care of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). We are located in the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains in Northern California. For 77 years Quaker Center has offered Quaker programs, camps and events, open to all, and offered conference and event space to a variety of groups and organizations working towards a better world. You are invited to come to Quaker Center for:

Quaker Center programs: Retreats typically focus on spirituality, Quaker faith, history and practice, peace and social justice, and more. All are welcome to attend our programs.

Group rentals:Learn more about booking Quaker Center’s lodges, cabins and grounds for your group or organization.

Personal Retreats: Come stay in the Sojourner’s Cottage or the Haven.

Summer camps: There is nothing like Quaker Center Camp!

Quaker Meeting for Worship: Join us for

(1) Our daily online silent Meeting for Worship;
(2) Our weekly online Worship Sharing group; or
(3) Our in-person potluck and Meeting for Worship on the first Wednesday each month.

We love visitors. Check in at the Quaker Center office or call us at 831-336-8333 to hike our trails, consult our library or visit our labyrinth.

We welcome all people and groups, regardless of any Quaker affiliation, who are in harmony with Friends’ values of peace, nonviolence and equality.
