Give your child an unforgettable summer experience at City Slickers Day Camp

Where Ranch Life Meets Adventure & Fun!

City Slickers Day Camp offers a one-of-a-kind experience for children (8+) to step into the world of ranch life. This isn’t your typical camp filled with games, arts, or crafts—instead, it’s a structured, hands-on program that provides both visual training and real, day-to-day experience working on a functioning ranch. But don’t worry—it’s not all work and no play! Participants will have a blast while learning practical skills, bonding with animals, and embracing the adventure of ranch life. From feeding livestock to learning the ropes of daily ranch operations, every day brings a new challenge, excitement, and a sense of accomplishment.

What Kids Will Do & Discover

  • A Hands-on Ranch Adventure – Each day is filled with hands-on experiences, exciting activities, and fun challenges that turn farm work into an adventure
  • Feed & Care for the Animals – From donkeys to ducks, kids will learn what, when, and why each animal eats—and even have fun feeding times with their favorite furry (or feathery) friends!
  • Barnyard Builders – Help design, build, and maintain animal homes while getting creative with DIY ranch projects.
  • Horse Time! – Groom, tack up, and lead a horse like a pro. Plus, kids will get in the saddle for basic riding lessons, learning to steer, control, and care for their horse.
  • Little Fixers – Campers will tackle fence mending, shelter building, and creative problem-solving, gaining real-world skills while having a blast!
  • Arts & Crafts – Combine creativity with the beauty of the ranch with fun art projects inspired by the great outdoors and animals.
  • Down on the Farm – Gardening, composting, water management, and chicken-keeping. Think planting herbs, collecting eggs, designing a mini garden bed, and taste-testing ranch-grown snacks.
  • Farm-to-table Nutrition – Campers become ranch chefs and learn how food grows, what animals eat (and why), and how to prep basic ranch-style snacks for pets.
  • Critter Connection – Get up close with ranch animals, learning how to handle and care for horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, tortoises, and even tropical fish!
  • Underwater Explorers – Build and take home a fully functioning aquarium while discovering how fish tanks work (water changes, filtration, and the cool science behind them).
  • Friday Splash Bash + Pizza Party! – Cool down on Friday's with a Splash Bash + Pizza Party and Ice Cream. Campers can bring their bathing suits and get ready for some fun on Friday's!



The Best Part? – Every day is packed with hands-on activities, friendly competitions, and group challenges that make learning feel like play. By the end of camp, your child will leave with new skills, lasting friendships, and amazing memories!


Perfect for kids who love animals, adventure, and learning by doing!

When we arrived we were greeted with warm welcomes from Pat and Kim. All the animals were excited to have us. My son fell in love Sam the 4 week old Goose, and wanted to do the hay ride over and over. My daughter loved riding Ray the horse, and feeding the rest carrots.
