Are you looking for an exciting and educational experience for your 4th - 12th graders next summer?

El Ranchito offers an extraordinarily fun and affordable nature-immersion summer camp for young people entering 4th through 12th grades. El Ranchito was created specifically to serve children and youth from low-income families.  If your family qualifies for the federal free lunch program at school, then you may be eligible for El Ranchito.  Find out how to apply at the registration page.

Nature Discovery Camp (4th - 9th graders) 
Each week is filled with nature explorations, field trips, a service project, healthy food, and nights under a starry sky.  Campers wade and swim in creeks, ride horses, go hiking, sing around the campfire and sleep in tents.

Conservation Corps (10th - 12th graders) 
Live outdoors, swim in creeks, build trails, restore wildlife habitat, and have fun in nature!  As a Corps member, you'll learn valuable life and work skills.  You'll receive a stipend for your hard work.  And you'll experience high adventure with kayaking, hiking, and rock climbing.
