Vida Verde is located at a wilderness retreat center, called Venture Retreat Center, located just south of Pescadero, CA. The pristine Butano Creek runs through the retreat center, which is adjacent to 3,500 acre Butano State Park! The site includes a large lodge with a kitchen and restrooms for student use, 3 Sioux-style teepees for sleeping overnight, a beautiful creekside trail, an outdoor classroom, a fire circle, an animal pasture for our goats and sheep, and many wild animals such as bobcats, lizards, garter snakes, banana slugs, newts, and lots of insects!
