We are located at the historic Richardson Springs property, home to YWAM Chico. Our 500-acre campus is tucked away in a beautiful, secluded canyon just 15 minutes up the mountain from the Chico Airport.

Safety is our top priority. The property is private and located in a secluded canyon with only one way in and out. We maintain 24/7 on-site security provided by our staff and the resident YWAM team. To enter the grounds, visitors must have a gate code or be called in by our office.
