Redwood Creek Summer Camp is a Christian camp operated by Seventh-day Adventists. Its stated purpose is to provide a safe and fun environment for children to learn about Jesus, and children of any race or belief system are welcome to attend. The camp serves the Redwood region, including the North Coast and beyond.

Redwood Creek Camp started in the late 1930s on land owned by Oliver Cookson, and one of the first camp directors was Eric B. Hare. The camp notes that it has over 75 years of history and is one of the longest operating Adventist camps in the world.

All staff are required to complete background checks and special training in order to fill their positions. The camp is accredited with the American Camp Association.

Campers have shared feedback such as enjoying “the love and kindness; and the food,” liking “good food, skits, campfire and activities,” and saying “everything is fun.” Other campers mentioned that “the food was good, the sermons weren't boring,” that staff “were so nice to me and treated me like I existed and belonged,” and that staff “helped me with my fear of speaking up.” One camper said, “Everyone was friendly, and I had fun in the activities and learned new things.”
