Where kids become ranch hands!
Now, more than ever, children need spaces to learn, grow, and connect. Here, at The Ranch, we have created programs designed to educate children about animals and the workings of a ranch. But that is just the beginning! Through the teachings of ranch skills and animal care, we will cultivate patience, discipline, focus, and empathy. Our small groups create the opportunity to work together and have moments of one on one attention.
In addition to Kids Camp, we will be offering two hour condensed classes! These Ranch Skills classes will be available individually and the times are adjusted in an effort to provide more schedule opportunities for participation. Each class will have a different topic and focus.
