ABOUT US
Hidden Villa strives to inspire a just and sustainable future through outdoor education, responsible agriculture, and community engagement.
Stretching over 1600 acres of open space in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains forty miles south of San Francisco, Hidden Villa was originally the home of Frank and Josephine Duveneck who purchased the land in 1924 and offered it as a gathering place for discussion, reflection, and incubation of social reform.
Over the following decades, the Duveneck family established the first American Youth Hostel on the Pacific Coast (1937), the first consciously multiracial summer camp in the United States (1945) and Hidden Villa’s Outdoor Education Program (1970). The Trust for Hidden Villa was established as a nonprofit in 1960.
