Ranch Hands Kids Camp

Excite all of your senses with the Ranch Hands Kids Camp and take home memories for years to come. Our programming, designed by certified schoolteachers, provides just enough structure to inspire and initiate unforgettable experiences, yet plenty of freedom for young minds to be creative and put their imagination to work. Disguised in all of this fun and adventure is critical development of motor skills, social skills and academic content. Those little minds will stay sharp with inquiry-based learning. No homework or tests here, just a huge natural playground where you can't help but learn a few new things along the way!


BUSY BEES

AGES 2 TO 5

Perfect for our youngest campers who might not want to be away from mom and dad for an entire day or half day, Busy Bees Program is available on an hourly basis. Little ones will still benefit from a programmed schedule of fun events and educational activities, but without the half or full day commitment. This is perfect for the parent looking for childcare during a workout or fitness class. If children are not potty trained, a parent must be available for a diaper change if needed.

When: Daily from 8:00a to 12:00p
Where: River Ranch – Activity Cottage
Price: $15/hour per child


RANCH HANDS KIDS CAMP – starting June 1st!

AGES 6 TO 12

Featuring the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor activities, every day is unique at Ranch Hands Kids Camp with daily activities such as Hiking, Swimming, Silly Songs and Games, Tennis, Golf, Arts & Crafts, and much more. Exciting weekly themes like Wild, Wild, West and Art of Imagination, Our Friendly Planet, and Flower-to-Hive Week add layers and layers of fun!

Is your child a Ranch Hand (ages 6-8) or one of Roxy's Rogues (ages 9-12)?
