Vermillion Ranch
Where Lives Change
We are grounded in faith and love and help others find hope, purpose, and community through Christ and nature.
The ranch is modeled on years of retreat experiences, recovery work, and seeing how much people grow when they’re given space, support, and a break from day-to-day pressure.
We bring people together, get outside, talk honestly, and we focus on faith and real connection.
Our mission is to offer a sacred space for spiritual, emotional, and relational healing. Our Focus is on human connection and vulnerability.
The Garcia Family & Vermillion Ranch at Del Shay – Overview
Jake and Nicole Garcia, along with their daughter Aleah, son Jakey, and exceptional needs daughter Mariah, form the heart behind the vision of Vermillion Ranch at Del Shay.
Jake, a seasoned retreat leader, organizer, and entrepreneur, has long been involved in building relationships through spiritual growth, nature, and human connection.
Nicole, a Catholic high school teacher and experienced retreat leader, has dedicated her life to spiritual and emotional formation among youth. Their shared journey through spiritual retreats, parenthood (including raising a child with Down syndrome and autism), and a commitment to service has deeply influenced their desire to give back.
Aleah, and Jakey bring a younger voice and perspective to their mission. Their personal growth through youth retreats and openness about vulnerability and faith has been foundational to the inclusive and healing vision of the ranch.
