Our ranch-based camp offers a unique blend of outdoor adventure, animal care, and hands-on learning. Nestled in wide open spaces, campers have the opportunity to explore nature, engage with animals, and participate in activities like gardening, engaging with farm animals, scavenger hunts, and learning basic ranching skills. The camp fosters a sense of responsibility, teamwork, and connection to the land, all while giving kids a chance to meet new friends and enjoy the outdoors.
Our horse-based camp is designed for kids to learn about and interact with horses. It typically involves a mix of riding lessons, horse care activities (like grooming, feeding, and cleaning stalls), and equestrian skills development. Camps will include games, arts and crafts, and educational sessions about horse anatomy, behavior, and riding techniques. There might also be team-building activities, trail riding, and special events like horse shows. It’s an opportunity for participants to bond with horses and gain hands-on experience in a fun, outdoor environment. Campers will also get to engage with the other animals we have a the ranch and enjoy some free play in our playground area.

Do your kids love to get dirty, play outside (rain or shine), learn about animals, and all things nature? Then, Dragonfly Ranch is the place for them! Whether it's learning to ride a horse, or joining our preschool program or attending one of our camps... we have it all!
Our mission is to incorporate a balanced outdoor/indoor approach to learning through various activities relating to our ranch including feeding/brushing animals, cleaning and observing each animal in their living environment, and garden/nature.
Your children will learn using a hands-on approach to explore the gardens, the wooded areas, the pastures and all the other places our ranch has to offer. All of this while enhancing social/emotional growth for all ages!
The dragonfly symbolizes new beginnings and change. Timing is important. For a dragonfly, their lifespan can be short here on Earth, so they take every opportunity to live life to the fullest! Now is the time! It is the time for our family to spread our wings and share our experiences with our new community.
