What makes your camp the right choice for my child?
Wilderness Ranch is a great camping opportunity for any child. If your child likes being outside, likes adventure, playing games, and making new friends this camp is the right place for your child. Wilderness Ranch is different in that we have a very high staff to camper ratio. This allows our campers to be heard and included in the group. Wilderness Ranch is a horse camp, horseback riding is the prominent activity each day. If your child is extremely allergic to horses or doesn't like riding horses Wilderness Ranch might not be the best choice.
My Child doesn't go to church at home, can they still go to your camp?
Wilderness Ranch is a Christian camp and Christian teachings are a part of our program. With this being said we are welcoming to all people from all backgrounds and design our program so that no person ever feels excluded no matter what their background is.
