Camp Coyote Ridge offers overnight camps each month, and there are many social events throughout the year, along with plans for four residential homes on site. The Social Living Club programs are offered in both South Bay and Agoura Hills locations. Golden Heart Ranch’s mission statement says that it provides young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities opportunities to reach their fullest potentials and enjoy meaningful, satisfying and joyful lives in a supportive and caring environment.
