Programs
For a lot of people in Southern California, the environment seems like a distant thing that just isn't relevant in their day-to-day lives. Flip Flop Ranch, located in the High Desert, connects visitors with the natural world and teaches adults and kids about their interdependence with the environment.
Spend the day exploring the intersection of cultivated and wild lands: in the organic garden, walking the trails, milking a goat and feeding the chickens. Learn how our choices impact our health and the health of the planet.
Flip Flop Ranch uses its farm and garden to infuse students and other group participants with a sense of place in the natural world, and to offer them a taste of farm-fresh produce, eggs and milk.
The Ranch serves groups ranging in age from nursery school to high school. We strive to reach participants from low-income, ethnically diverse and special needs populations.
Group Programs are hands-on weekday and overnight farm workshops primarily attended by school children and community groups in the spring and fall. Slide Ranch teachers lead program participants through a variety of educational themes and activities tailored to meet each group’s needs. For all ages.
Week-long, summer day camps focus on farm crafts and activities as well as nature exploration. Through hands-on experience campers learn to respect and care for animals, plants, the earth, and each other. For ages 5-12. Ages 13 and up may participate in our Junior Camp counselor Program.
Family Programs are offered on most weekends throughout the spring and fall and consist of Family Farm Days, Toddler Days and Family Campouts. With fun-filled, hands-on activities, our goal is to inspire kids and their parents to make healthy choices about food and other natural resources.
