Exciting Kids’ Activities

During your stay, kids have the option to join in on the fun with their families or enjoy exclusive activities led by our friendly counselor-wranglers. Here’s a taste of what awaits your little adventurers:

  • “Kids Only” Horseback Riding: Participate in arena lessons or small group trail rides, tailored for young riders.
  • Egg Gathering: Help gather fresh eggs from our hen house.
  • Animal Encounters: Spend time with our adorable kittens and playful goats.
  • Outdoor Adventures: Enjoy group hikes, rock climbing, and fishing in the beautiful Colorado landscape.
  • Fun and Games: Engage in picnics, campfire sing-alongs, outdoor games, and treasure hunts.
  • Creative Activities: Participate in movie nights and crafts designed for kids.

Safe and Engaging Programs for the Best Kids Vacations

Our children’s programs are designed for kids aged 5 and older. For younger children, babysitting can be arranged at a reasonable hourly rate, allowing parents some well-deserved downtime.

Teens have the flexibility to join adult activities, hang out with younger kids, or spend time with our wranglers. Each week, we host a special campfire evening, complete with storytelling and an exciting camp-out in the teepee. While the young folks enjoy their night under the stars, adults can savor a relaxing candlelight dinner in the main ranch house—an excellent mid-week retreat!

Safety First

When it comes to horseback riding, we prioritize safety. Children must be of sufficient size and skill to control their horse on the trails. Our experienced wranglers assess each child’s ability before heading out, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. Kids not ready for trail riding can still enjoy the arena and ranch property with our wranglers while parents explore the trails.

Our wranglers are under the guidance of our owner and Head Wrangler, a certified Wrangler Safety Instructor with the Dude Ranchers Association. All staff undergo rigorous safety training, and riding “double” is strictly prohibited for safety reasons.
