Where Curiosity Grows Wild
Slide Ranch Camp immerses kids in the wonder of nature and the joy of discovery.
Guided by our skilled outdoor instructors, campers milk goats, collect eggs, and harvest vegetables to cook what they grow. Kids explore tidepools, wander through the fennel forest, tend our chickens, and visit honey bees in our secret garden all within our 134 acres of coastal land in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
Campers come home happy, tired, and sometimes a little muddy — with memories that last a lifetime.
