Check out the Documentary of Camps at Devil's Gulch Ranch.
Thank you for checking out our programs. All of the camps offered at Devil's Gulch Ranch are focused around connecting children and young adults to agriculture, nature, outdoor recreation, and our ancestral past. All our camps have capacities of 30 or less with staff to students ratios of 1:5 with some activities being 1:1 and 2:1.
In all camps, the start of each day for all participants is doing routine farm chores. The rest of the day is devoted to learning about agriculture, getting connected to the forest, creeks, and meadows around the ranch, learning primitive skills, doing crafts centered on natural materials, developing skills in archery, atlatl, tomahawk, rappelling or horsemanship. Each day of the week has time for free play or exploration. One day of the week is devoted to a wander in the forest.
We challenge each participant to go past their comfort zone and try new things. This is not your usual summer camp and this is not a petting zoo but a production ranch raising livestock for food. Participants have hands on experiences in real work and have opportunities to explore all areas of production. For more information on the Devil's Gulch Ranch please see www.devilsgulchranch.com
The students will find that they are a member of a happy and healthy community with mentors that incorporate humor, storytelling, rites of passage, respect, celebration, thanksgiving, and more.
