St. Dorothy’s Rest

Where spirit meets nature and everyone can be themselves. 

Since 1901, St Dorothy’s has served as an institution of the Diocese of California to provide “a place of rest” in a redwood forest in Sonoma County. We operate year-round as a camp and retreat center, and the camp caters to all kinds of community-centered groups whose mission aligns with ours: church groups, recovery communities, artists and writers groups, families, civic and volunteer organizations all make up the patchwork quilt of faith, hope, love, and luck that is the community of St Dorothy’s.

At the heart of our mission is Summer Camp, and especially the camp for children whose lives have been impacted by illness or the social diseases of poverty and discrimination. We partner with Bay Area children’s hospitals and healthcare organizations to offer unique camps for children living with major organ transplants; and we partner with community organizations like YES and Braid Mission to make room in all our summer camps for children who might otherwise never attend camp.
