Unplug. Get dirty. Grow 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.

When: 9:30am - 3pm. Extended care until 5pm.
What to Bring: Lunch, snack, water bottle, and layers 

Cost: $650/week. Extended care $30/day or $140/week.
NEW THIS SUMMER! Bus service from SF and Mill Valley, $160/week 

Slide Ranch Summer Camp Themes & Dates

Campers learn to care for every corner of Slide Ranch — from the goats and sheep to the chickens, ducks, and garden. Through cooking, animal care, and nature-based projects, campers create meaningful connection to our animals, each other, and the land.

Great Outdoors

Adventure awaits! Campers welcome our 4 invitations: get dirty, ask questions, try something new, and have fun! We will explore the many habitats of Slide Ranch. From tidepools to pastures, every day brings new discoveries and lasting memories with new friends.

Pollinatorpalooza

Dive into the fascinating relationships between plants and their pollinators as we explore plant life cycles, investigate honeybee hives, and observe wild pollinators in action along the trails. Expect art, discovery, and delicious garden cooking projects — thanks to our busy pollinator friends.

June 15 - 19, August 3 - 7

Campers dig into the garden, harvest ingredients, and cook daily dishes that go straight from our farm to their belly. We’ll learn how past inhabitants used the land for food and survival, explore how food travels from soil to plate, and discover how eating locally and seasonally helps protect the planet.

July 13 - 17, July 27 - 31
