Slide Ranch

A year-round environmental education program.

Description:

A nonprofit agricultural and environmental education center on a small farm perched on the Pacific Coast thirty minutes north of San Francisco. Program participants in small guided groups learn to care for farm animals and gardens, explore miles of wildland trails, discover ocean tide pools and may camp overnight. Programs include weekday and weekend programs for school classes and community-based groups, summer day camps for children age 5-12, weekend family programs with both day and overnight camping, yearly farm festival events, and an 11-month environmental education internship opportunity for educators. The group campsite and meeting space are available for rental.
