Camp Overview

Redwood Glen, established in 1946, is a Christian Camp and Conference Center set in beautiful Scotts Valley, nine miles north of Santa Cruz, California, just off Highway 17.  The primary purpose of Redwood Glen has been our summer residential camping program designed primarily for at-risk and underprivileged children.

Working at camp is powerful. It is a unique and constantly evolving environment where lives are impacted and changed. It is a place where youth can come and inhabit a space where Christ's Love is freely given and expressed in the day to day activities of camp. Every summer, we strive to create a space where change is possible, and we want staff to share in this exciting vision.

Each summer, hundreds of children enjoy fresh air, exercise and the beautiful outdoors at Redwood Glen's summer camps. We are committed to providing them with the highest quality experience possible. We believe that every child is a precious creation of God and should have the opportunity to go to camp and experience the wonders of His creation in a safe and loving environment. The Salvation Army is committed to making summer camp possible for any child that wants to go, regardless of financial barriers.

While working at camp shouldn't be described as easy, it is inspiring, empowering, challenging, fun, and rewarding!
