Directions

​

Santa Cruz Facilities From Northern California
From Highway 17 take the “Mount Hermon Road” exit at Scotts Valley. If coming from the north, turn right at the light onto Mount Hermon Road. Once on Mount Hermon Road, proceed 3.5 miles through Scotts Valley to the "T" and signal light at Graham Hill Road. Turn left onto Graham Hill Road, then follow the directions below to the specific facility.

​
To Conference Center
After turning left at Graham Hill Road, turn left onto Conference Drive, which takes you into the Conference Center. The Administration Building is just past the post office on the right. The Mount Hermon Bookshop is directly across the street.

The street address for GPS use is 37 Conference Drive, Mount Hermon, CA 95041, Some online and GPS mapping systems incorrectly place us inside "Felton, CA 95018" so if you have trouble, you might try that. One mapping service still shows directions from "Mt Hermon Rd" to a left on Conference Drive, that road has been closed since the 1970's, you must continue on "Mt Hermon Rd" to the end, left on Graham Hill Rd then make the left on to Conference Drive.

To Redwood Camp
From the signal light at Graham Hill Road go 2 blocks left. Turn left on Zayante Road. The Redwood Camp gate is approximately 1/4 mile on the right. The physical address for mapping purposes is 6496 East Zayante Rd, Felton, CA 95018. Please do not send mail to that address.

To Ponderosa Lodge

​(Location of most Outdoor Science conferences)
From the signal light at Graham Hill Road, turn left and proceed a half mile past the turn-off for Conference Drive. Turn left at the Ponderosa Lodge sign. If you pass the Probation Center on your left, you’ve gone too far!
