A Children's Village is being made possible through the generous gift of 120 acres of scenic land 50 miles east of San Diego by the Stephen and Mary Birch Foundation. It will be located at the Flying A Ranch –- a pastoral setting surrounded by rolling hills and sweeping mountain views-- in beautiful San Diego County. Currently under development, the ranch will serve as home to 200 children who are no longer able to live at home. It is a place where neglected children can discover a world of sunrises and have room to play, as well as the receive the guidance and caring they need to flourish.
The Youth Camp & Retreat Center, located on 120 acres in scenic eastern San Diego County, will provide youth a much-needed opportunity to experience the great outdoors. The camp will offer rope climbing courses, horseback riding, hiking, rock climbing, swimming, volleyball and basketball courts, soccer fields, an archery range and more. This working ranch will help youngsters build confidence, encourage teamwork and build an appreciation for nature's beauty.
