Welcome to Woolman at Sierra Friends Center

Let Woolman host your event! We are located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in northern California, a 90-minute drive from Sacramento and a 15-minute drive from the historic towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City. Our campus offers 230 acres of meadows, woods, streams and ponds for our guests to enjoy. Check out our campus map and our trail map! Groups of 5-85 persons can easily be accommodated overnight in a variety of spaces on our grounds, and an additional 50 people can camp on central campus.

Woolman hosts weddings, retreats, workshops, conferences, and meetings for many different groups. Whether you are a non-profit organization or community group, a yoga studio or meditation center, a church or Quaker meeting, we would be happy to host you!

The Woolman Outdoor School is Underway!

In addition to academics, the Woolman Outdoor School partners with California schools to provide a unique learning environment where students gain important social skills, responsibility, independence, and confidence. Students take part in garden harvests, meal preparation, and clean ups, giving them an active role in providing for their community.
