About [Edit]
Every year Hidden Villa serves approximately 50,000 visitors from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Core offerings are Hidden Villa Environmental Education Program, which teaches key concepts of ecology and environmental stewardship through farm and wilderness experiences for 20,000 elementary school children; and Summer Camp which builds relationships among over 900 youth of very diverse backgrounds, using the natural environment of Hidden Villa as a teaching platform.
Core programs reach into the community through collaborations with local schools and social service agencies. Hidden Villa’s resident intern program provides training for young men and women interested in environmental education, social justice, organic farming, or animal husbandry. Neighborhood shareholders in Community Supported Agriculture partake of Hidden Villa’s organic harvest; domestic and international travelers stay at the Hostel; local businesses or nonprofits rent facility space for meetings and retreats; and thousands of informal visitors explore Hidden Villa’s hiking trails or attend Community Programs (workshops, concerts, discussions, forums).
