The Maymac Retreat Center, 9115 E Zayante Rd, Felton, CA 95018
It is nestled in the scenic Santa Cruz hills, provides comfortable accommodations and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for reflection and relaxation. With plenty of fun and sports activities, it’s an ideal retreat for families, youth, and kids. Enjoy basketball, sand volleyball, and pickleball courts, a horseshoe pit, ping pong tables, two large playfields for soccer and baseball, slip-and-slide setups, miles of hiking trails, and an outdoor amphitheater complete with a large fire pit for evening gatherings.
Get ready for some fun in our fantastic cabins that your kids and youth will love! Each cabin has comfy bunk beds, heating, and cozy carpeting. They can be split into two separate rooms (not 100% private, so keep secrets quiet!) with a bathroom in each, perfect for families or groups. If you register with four or six members, you’ll have your own space, since we have beds for that number. Just a heads up, it’s first come, first served! If your group is smaller, you might share it with other families. Our accommodation committee is here to help make sure everyone has a great time, and their decisions are final.
Note: A child discount is available for the first 39 children registered, courtesy of the camp center.
These rates include food and accommodation. Enjoy!
