Slide Ranch is a magical place on the California coast that connects children and people of all ages to the outdoors. It provides transformative learning experiences on an organic farm and national park land. The ranch is incredible for families to visit for a wander or to participate in programming, and is a must-visit for local and visiting families. Activities include milking a goat, hugging a chicken, hiking to the tide pools, and enjoying s’mores while camping. It is a place to build relationships with the land, the animals, and the warm community. The grounds are awe-inspiring, beautifully maintained, and spotless, with breathtaking views. It is also a perfect venue for hosting meaningful events like yoga retreats, featuring a beautiful yurt perched over the ocean and a commercial kitchen. The staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely supportive. The wildlife and farm animals are amazing to behold. Slide Ranch is always open to the public, making the joy of outdoor exploration and farming accessible to everyone.
Slide Ranch could not be a more beautiful location, and there are numerous ways to engage with nature. The educational opportunities for children are also wonderful, and Slide Ranch is a great spot for kids' summer camps and school visits (my children have loved it). Highly recommend a visit.

I absolutely love this place! I bring my children and family here multiple times every year for camping and summer camp. The director, Myla, is smart and warm - as all are the staff.
