About this organization
Mission
The mission of Slide Ranch is to connect children to nature. We cultivate healthy bodies and minds and foster future generations of environmental stewards. By farming, cooking, caring for animals and exploring wilderness and the coast, we teach people of all ages to see the connection between their own health, a healthy food system and a healthy environment.
About
The school and community group program is Slide Ranch's primary education program, providing day and overnight field trip programs to San Francisco Bay Area school groups and community organizations to over 4,000 participants annually. For many participants, this will be their first time seeing the ocean and exploring tidepools, camping under the stars, harvesting food, or milking a goat. Student engagement is assured by teaching in small group sizes of eight students per Slide Ranch teacher. Hands-on, experiential environmental education curriculum connects children to nature and aligns with California education standards.
