The Ranch conducts a Ranch Experience Program for children who have a variety of special needs – physical, mental, emotional and/or financial. Children visiting the ranch have the opportunity to be the “most kid they can be” for the time they are here. There are no expectations set for them other than safe behavior standards. There are no limits to what they can try to do – within this safety net. They can ride horses, be pretend cowboys or Indians, run or walk or roll pretty much any place they want.
They can meet our volunteers and staff who strive to maintain a “cowboy” appearance for the kids. They can participate in a wide variety of craft projects. Our on site people have not only special training to work with these children but also the “heart” to give that extra smile. All this is free to participating children and their caregivers.
The Ranch host over 1800 children annually and we look forward to the upcoming season which begins in February and will again give children of all abilities the chance to “just be a kid for a day”.
