Chico is a university city in Northern California. It is about 2 hours north of Sacramento and less than 90 minutes South of Redding.
The YWAM campus is one of the largest properties in YWAM (500 acres) and lies in a small canyon in the hills outside Chico. Once upon a time it was a mineral springs resort built around a historic 7 story brick hotel, which transitioned in the 1960s into a revival center for the Body of Christ. In addition to the many buildings, there are mineral springs, an Olympic-size swimming pool, hiking trails, waterfalls and many great opportunities for community life as well as solitude.
If you enjoy wildlife and the great outdoors, you will love it here. Check out this overview of the landscape.
