Monte Toyon Camp & Conference Center is a beautiful oasis right in the heart of Aptos, California. Just a short drive from the west coast beaches you’ll head inland on a short drive that meanders through a beautiful wooded forest opening to our doorstep.

With multiple lodging options and meal service prepared on-site where we can create meals that meet your needs.
