Come to an El Ranchito camp, and you’ll live outdoors, learn all about the natural world, and have the time of your life. El Ranchito offers three sessions of Nature Discovery Camp for 4th through 9th graders, and a Conservation Corps session for 10th – 12th graders. We make camp fun for all young people, and affordable for all eligible families.
At Nature Discovery Camp, you’ll go hiking, swim in creeks, ride horses, eat unbelievably delicious food, sing around the campfire, watch for shooting stars, sleep in tents, and more!
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 activities such as kayaking, hiking, rock climbing and caving.
