Hey Days Site and Food

Location

We have a new site for 2025. Green Mountain Retreat is nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains on 66 acres of majestic redwood and oak woodlands. It is a short drive from downtown Los Gatos and 25-minutes drive from San Jose Airport.

There is an outdoor swimming pool, a pond, labyrinth, ping pong table, bocce ball courts, private hiking trail, and an outdoor amphitheater.

Housing

There are two types of lodging: Dormitory Rooms in Pueblo Lodge and Cottages, each with its own character and charm. 

Pueblo Lodge features lovely, historical architecture and a convenient location adjacent to the dance hall and other program spaces. It has dormitory style rooms, most with three to four beds (with a maximum of two people per room, unless otherwise requested) and shared dormitory-style bathrooms. The dorm building has some lounge, a washer/dryer, and a small kitchen with a refrigerator.   

The rustic cottages have many different sizes, configurations, and kitchen availability. Most rooms are double rooms. They are on a small hill a bit farther from the program spaces and dining room, many with uneven paths and stairs.

Most people will be in a shared room. There are a very limited number of singles available for people with health concerns. 

Once you are registered, you will receive an information form to submit. This will include questions about your preference for being housed adjacent to the program spaces (the dorm building) or farther away with some uneven ground and changes in elevation (the cottages), as well as any medical needs such as being on the ground floor (i.e., no stairs). 

Food

The on-site restaurant serves fresh, healthy and nutritious food in a buffet setting. The kitchen staff is well-versed in special dietary needs and allergy restrictions and take pride in providing guests with a customized menu based on group size, age, and cuisine preferences.

We will have the dining hall all to ourselves, sitting at round tables for eight.
