Prude Ranch Summer Camp

As an old hand at corralling kids and corralling cows alike, the venerable Prude Ranch Summer Camp has been instilling the spirit of the wild Southwest in boys and girls since 1951. Rising from luminous desert plains to touch cotton-candy skies, Prude Ranch paints a picture of pure freedom and adventure. The ranch nudges wide-eyed young explorers out into verdant, virginal wilderness, allowing them the thrill of discovering the world and their place within it at their own pace. Horses serve as your child's faithful companion during their stay, making the ranch a horse whisperer's paradise. Each camper is paired with a horse and, in line with their age and skill, becomes an active participant in its care. What's more enchanting than nurturing an unbreakable bond with a noble steed against a backdrop of majestic mountains? The Ranch augments this quintessentially Southwestern setting with an array of activities that inspire curiosity and ignite passion, going way beyond mere cowboy antics. With a salad bowl of options including outdoor endeavors like hiking, rock climbing, archery to more tranquil indoor pastimes like drawing and playing card games, boredom is a foreign concept here. Every day unspools a new adventure, a new skill to master—a specific dish in the smorgasbord of experiences. In a nutshell, Prude Ranch Summer Camp provides a slice of wholesome ranch life seasoned with a healthy smattering of activities brewed to cater to individual preferences. Here, your kids will leave not just with dirt under their nails and stars in their eyes, but also with hearts brimming with treasured memories and friendships.
