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.
