Junior Rancher Camp
Dates: July 28-30
Times: 9:30-3:30 daily
Here is a program especially designed for our older Jr. Ranchers! Have you participated in ranch programs before and are ready for something more? Then this camp is for you! Designed specifically for ranch hands ages 9 and up, we will spend three days going more in depth into rancher skills and tasks. Help Rancher Abby complete a ranch project, move animals each day as they graze along the irrigation ditches, work with blacksmith Harry Hansen to forge your own garden tool, learn how to care for cows and horses and more. This camp will include an overnight on Wednesday night, so we can experience the thrill of the ranch at night!
