Our Site
SJOE
is found in the Santa Cruz Mountains along the coast of California.
Our outdoor education program operates out of YMCA Camp Jones Gulch, a
926 acre property featuring old and secondary growth Coast Redwoods,
Douglas Firs, deciduous trees, chaparral, grassy meadows, creeks, a
pond, and more.
YMCA
Camp Jones Gulch is located in La Honda, about 12 miles inland from
Highway 1 and the Pacific Ocean. About 160 students and 20 cabin leaders
attend the SJOE program at Jones Gulch each week. To learn more about
the program site, you can visit the
