Via West Campus offers year-round day and residential programs for children and adults, ages 5 and older, with physical and/or developmental disabilities and special needs. Our programs incorporate developmentally appropriate content reflecting our Living Healthy themes: adaptive and functional skills, nutrition, physical activity, health awareness and self-management. Via West is located on 13-wooded acres nestled in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains in Stevens Creek County Park just 15 miles west of San Jose and 45 miles south of San Francisco. The facility has six modern and accessible sleeping lodges equipped with bathrooms, showers and heaters, a spacious main lodge where dining and large group programs take place, two pools, one of which is fully accessible, a health center, fire circle, creative arts and performing arts buildings, a sports court, nature pavilion with an accessible organic garden, horse corral, platform tent site as well as hiking and nature trails. We offer weekend programs during the school year as well as summer sessions ranging from 4 to 9 days. Participants are assigned to lodge groups based on age, gender and ability levels. Historically, we have served approximately 65 participants on weekends and between 75 and 120 during summer sessions.
