Art, Nature, and Activities

Kids Ranch Day Camp offers children an opportunity to explore a lot of new territory, from gardening to horseback riding. And our kids love to paint and draw . . . on pretty much anything. Our after-school kids love making things, too. Here's some of their collective handiwork.

Garden Fence Posts

Each camper gets to create and add their own to the Ranch collection

Birdhouses

We build them and decorate them. Then we get to take home.

Wild Stuff

We like to gather things out in the woods or in the meadow, and make something new with them.

And we learn how nature works at the same time!

Our Garden

We grow fresh food that everyone gets to take home to feed their family.

Reading

This is a big part of every day at Kids Ranch.

Sometimes we read to each other or just to ourselves.

Games and Play Time

We do lots of group activities so we can exercise and stretch our muscles.

There's also time for one-on-one games to stretch our brains.

Everyone's Favorite . . . The Horses

We learn to ride and care for these beautiful animals.
