The Friends Wilderness Center is a unique wilderness preserve and spiritual sanctuary offering events, personal or small group retreats, overnight hospitality (with meals) in our cabin, camping, fun, and the exploring of nature within a large woodland preserve called Rolling Ridge. We offer a unique setting steeped in nature to aid your spiritual journey.

The land in the preserve we share is west of the Appalachian Trail and stretches down to a point on the Shenandoah River. We welcome all who respect nature and our mission to care for the rustic natural setting entrusted to us and to enable others to find spiritual nurturing there. One need not be Quaker or of any particular faith or practice to appreciate and benefit from Friends Wilderness Center. We offer the experience of peaceful fulfillment in a quiet wilderness refuge, of spiritual growth harmony with nature, of learning about being stewards of the land.
