Come Join Royal Ranch at Rock Springs

Every day is full of excitement and learning! The average day will have youth participating in horse care and horseback riding, canoeing, crafts, community service, archery, air rifle, ropes course, swimming, evening camping and a campfire circle with songs and laughter. No need to use electronic games, mini DVD players, or MP3 players- you will not have time. No need to pack meals- Rock Springs supplies ample food and drink with an evening snack every night. (You might want to bring some too, and there is a snack bar open during free time.)

This year we are adding a leadership camp group for children ages 13-15. These children will participate in all of the activities advertised in the brochure, but will also be given various responsibilities throughout the camp to serve as a counselor and leadership training. This program will be beneficial for all leadership positions they might have as well as if they decide to apply to be a counselor in future years at this camp.
