We are welcoming travelers far and wide back to the Santa Cruz Mountains. Here, you can breathe easy— and not just because of the salty sea air blowing in from Monterey Bay. You will be at ease knowing we're doing everything we can to ensure your return to Chaminade is as safe as possible. We have intensified our commitment to cleanliness and revised every touch-point from check-in to check-out.
We offer a wide variety of outdoor recreation activities and dining options to enjoy. Hike along miles of trails take a swim in our heated outdoor pool, enjoy lawn games including bocce ball, cornhole, and Frisbee golf, play tennis, and savor The View Restaurant on our expansive terrace overlooking Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay.
Prioritizing the health and safety of our guests has always been one of many ways we strive to "Be the Difference." But we have also revisited each step of our housekeeping processes so that you come happy and leave healthy.

Chaminade's on-site High Ropes Challenge Course, challenges team members to take risks and push themselves beyond individual comfort zones, all within a nurturing and supportive atmosphere. Our ropes course is designed to powerfully reflect the challenges groups face in working together: strategy, coaching, teamwork, goal setting, and implementation and time pressures. Utilizing a real-life environment, a fantastic jungle gym in the trees, creates a remarkable natural metaphor for flexibility, adaptability and growth.
Participation in the Challenge Course does not require special physical conditioning. The course consists of both low, ground-based events and high events that involve climbing while held securely via rope systems monitored by team members. Individuals freely decide how they can best participate, given their own desires and capabilities.

What Meeting Planners Are Saying...
"We recently held a 4-day corporate program event at the Chaminade for 40 employees and were extremely happy with the service and our stay. The meeting facilities perfectly suited our needs and the staff was always on top of things - from AV needs to food & beverage, and everything in between. Many of our attendees commented on how the week felt more like a retreat than a business meeting, which is exactly what we were going for! The location is perfect to get away from the day to day craziness and combined with the top notch service, really allows attendees to focus. Would definitely return in the future and highly recommend to others with business/meeting needs!"
- Alison M.- Executive Meeting Planner
"Thank you very much for your help making our forum a great success!
We could not have pulled off the event without help from you and your staff. We surveyed our attending grantees, and they all agreed that the location was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the meeting space worked very well for our gathering. Our goal for this event was to create a safe and comfortable space for our grantees, where they could come together, learn from each other, and engage in meaningful conversations about moving forward in our mission to help youth thrive. And thanks to you and your team, we achieved our goal. One of our grantees e-mailed us and expressed: “The space was amazing, and my colleagues and I all left with the understanding that we were a part of something bigger that can really make a difference in young people's lives.” We couldn’t have asked for a better, or more encouraging message from our grantees. Thank you again for all your help."
