The Redwood Christian Ashram is a family camp that has been meeting at the beautiful Redwood Christian Park in the Santa Cruz mountains for over 60 years. Summer camp is always held the week of the 4th of July. We also sponsor a weekend-long Online Ashram each winter with people attending from across North America, the United Kingdom, India, and more

Rev. Karen Ballard, D. Min, is passionate about Jesus, God's Word, and the power of the Holy Spirit to transform lives. She is excited for her two adult children who are figuring out their own lives and loves that they include her in that process. She considers serving as pastor of Rome Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvania the best job in the world and loves her people.
Karen’ s husband of 30 years, Barry, recently died of cardiac arrest. Now it's all about finding the path and stride that is right for this season, and depending on the love and direction of the Triune God .
Sister Karen is excited to be at the Ashram this summer to talk about how God reveals Himself through His Word!
Local Director
Every year as a child I looked forward to coming to Redwood Christian Ashram: for the family that reunited there, for the beauty and fun at the campground, and for being with God in a way I didn't quite experience anywhere else. It is an annual tradition which continues with my own children. it blesses my heart to hear them anticipate in joyful expectation each year. They feel the connection to God, to nature, and to the dear people who come to this sweet place.
Hearts are opened and lives are refreshed and renewed each year as we gather at the feet of Jesus under the statuesque Redwood trees.
