Most campers sleep under the stars in the fresh air, while the youngest overnight campers sleep in well-ventilated cabins that are disinfected in between sessions, and each overnight camp has its own private camping area. Hidden Villa manages a small-scale, organic farm and is an educational nonprofit stretching over 1600 acres of open space in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains. Farm and Wilderness, Watershed Wanders, and Bay to Sea campers bring their own sleeping pads because of the backpacking component of their programs, while all other campers are provided a camp mattress that is cleaned and disinfected before and after each session.
Life on the farm includes exploring wilderness, investigating the garden, and participating in a social justice curriculum for youth ages six through sixteen. At all ages, youth are encouraged to practice engaging their curiosity, thinking critically, and advocating for themselves and others. Staff working with the youngest campers are encouraged to model acceptance and self-expression through clothing choices that challenge gender stereotypes. Teens in the Farm and Wilderness program may use hands-on experience with farming to delve into the topic of immigrants’ rights and learn about Hidden Villa’s connection to the United Farm Workers movement. The camp is completely gender-inclusive and welcomes campers of all genders.
Hidden Villa Summer Camp partners with Epicurean Group, an independent, woman- and minority-owned business dedicated to environmentally and socially responsible food service management practices, to provide healthy meals for residential campers, and vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are always available. Hidden Villa proudly partners with Epicurean Group, a food-service management company headquartered in Los Altos and dedicated to sustainable dining. Every year, 30,000 people participate in one of Hidden Villa’s programs and an additional 20,000 visitors come to explore the organic farm and gardens, greet farm animals, and hike trails. Hidden Villa offers unique Experiential Education and Responsible Agriculture programs and remains a place that values inclusion, diversity, understanding, and respect, with a place at the table for everyone where lively discussion, debate, and collaboration is encouraged.
Hidden Villa’s educational programs have been inspiring participants for over 50 years. Its mission states that the programs promote an eagerness of learning about ourselves and others through a framework built on the respect of differences and the responsibility to make positive impacts on families, communities, and the world.
