Review for Slide Ranch, Muir Beach, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Slide Ranch has been a great experience for my daughter. First her school had an overnight trip there which was very well organized and our very diverse group of city kids got to milk goats, hold chickens, run through fennel and really experience farm life and coastal life. Since that trip she has been two summers to camp there and is looking forward to a third. We have been to one day family days and just love the people who run the farm. For me - it is a truly magical spot - a charming farm, in a sweet valley - right on the coast!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Both my daughter and her classmates getting a wonderful exposure to nature and farm life.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Keep doing what they are doing.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Milking goats! Watching chicks hatch! Making cheese and bread!

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Very knowledgeable, kind, interested in the students and very energetic!

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Build a great main hall to house classes and exhibits, refurbish living spaces for their volunteers that are close to falling down and do more outreach to inner city students.

Ways to make it better...

They are working hard to raise money to be able to improve their facilities - this would be wonderful!

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Raising money to keep their great programs going. We need more organizations like this to help get our urban kids out into nature.

Should this review be counted for a specific campaign?
