Woods to Waves
Saturday, May 10, 2025
Join us for Woods to Waves, our biggest annual fundraising event! This one-day hike-a-thon takes you on a breathtaking journey—starting at St. Dorothy’s Rest in Camp Meeker, CA, and ending at the Pacific Ocean. Whether you’re up for the full 12-mile challenge or prefer to hop on a shuttle at the halfway point, this experience is a chance to embrace the beauty of creation while supporting a meaningful cause.
All funds raised directly support our Hospital Camp programs and provide camp scholarships for underserved and foster youth in the Bay Area.
Event Details
The day begins at St. Dorothy's and packing up our lunches. The hike kicks off at 10:00 AM, lasting between 3 to 5 hours. Packed lunches will be delivered at the halfway point, and refreshment stations are available along the route. Shuttles are provided for those who prefer a shorter hike—though if you’re up for it, you’re welcome to trek the entire way!
Where Does Your Support Go?
All proceeds from Woods to Waves benefit Hospital Camp and Camperships at St. Dorothy’s Rest.
Your participation and generosity make it possible for these children to experience the power of camp. Thank you for walking with us!
