Family Summer Vacations | Guest Ranch for Kids

Helping your kids find a balance between exploration and collaboration is a critical part of their social development. That’s why we incorporate group activities into much of our programming. However, we also appreciate those who want to be at their leisure and have considered them as well. To help you and your little wranglers make the most of your family summer vacation, here are some things to keep them busy.

  • Arts and crafts take many forms at Rawah Ranch, and our staff is happy to help. Your kids will have the opportunity to design and create dream catchers, leather brands, pyrography designs (wood burning), and painted rocks.
  • Nature walks and guided hikes allow kids to explore the wilderness surrounding the ranch with a foray into wildlife viewing, tracking, and an appreciation for Mother Earth. They might get an introduction to fort building!
  • Interactive games like volleyball, four-square, can-jam, capture the flag, and water balloon fights are a great way for kids to burn off some of that extra energy.
  • Panning for gold in the river behind our lodge will teach youngsters the forgotten art of prospecting.
  • Fishing at our on-site pond is an excellent option for children under 12 who sign up for fly fishing. The small pond will give them a much easier chance without fussing with fly rods and reels.
  • Horseback riding in the arena is available for children over the age of five. It presents an ideal opportunity to plant the seeds of equine enthusiasm within their impressionable young minds.
