The Salvation Army Redwood Glen Camp & Conference

Redwood Glen Camp & Conference Center is a woodland retreat venue in Scotts Valley, California, offering accommodation, meeting facilities, meals and group activities for organisers planning conferences, retreats, training sessions and community gatherings. Set among the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the centre combines practical event facilities with a peaceful outdoor setting suited to groups seeking time away from busy everyday surroundings.

Guest groups can choose from several accommodation styles, including hotel-style lodges, standard lodges, staff cabins and dormitory accommodation. This range makes the site suitable for different group sizes, budgets and levels of comfort. Bedding and towels are provided in selected lodges, while some cabin and dormitory options are designed for groups bringing sleeping bags.

The venue provides a selection of meeting spaces that can be arranged to suit each group’s programme. Capacity ranges from approximately 25 to 350 people, with facilities including carpeted rooms, Wi-Fi in most meeting areas and a chapel. Groups can also discuss food, lodging and programme requirements with the onsite team when planning their stay.

Beyond the meeting rooms, Redwood Glen offers outdoor amenities and optional adventure activities. Organisers can include swimming, hiking, team challenges, high and low ropes elements, archery, slingshot activities, campfires and large-group games as part of a retreat or team programme. The grounds also include an outdoor chapel, turf field, playground and climbing features.

Facilities are available for guest group hire during the retreat and conference season, generally from mid-August through mid-May. The venue is particularly well suited to faith-based gatherings, youth and community groups, educational retreats, residential conferences and organisations looking for a nature-based setting with accommodation and activities on site.
