Special Events Reservation

Sleeping quarters

Walden West’s cabins and bunkrooms can accommodate overnight stays. Reminiscent of your childhood camp days, the Walden West sleeping quarters include wooden bunk beds. Our newer cabins are equipped with bathrooms and showers – you provide the rest!

Activities

Sanborn Park’s 3,500 acres of redwood forests, meandering streams and chaparral serve as the backdrop to Walden West’s 35-acre campus. A multi-skill level ropes course set among the groves provides fun, yet challenging, team-building experiences. Walden West boasts more than 35 miles of trails to suit every skill level. Hikers can rely on self-guided maps or Walden West’s expert guides.

Outdoor features

Walden West’s outdoor entertainment area is perfect to bring your guests outside. Gather around the outdoor fire pit, sing camp songs from days gone by, and throw some burgers on the grill.

Weather permitting, Walden West’s swimming pool welcomes swimmers and sun bathers alike.
