FOR FAMILIES
What’s Our Camp Like?
Mountain Meadow Ranch is more than just tons of fun. Campers find a sanctuary, a place to learn who they are, and a place to grow. They find a true community. With our small enrollment, a strong sense of family forms quickly during each camp session!
Our Program
Mountain Meadow Ranch is a sleepaway summer camp, co-ed for ages 7 to 16. We offer a traditional camp program with one- and two-week sessions June through August that can be combined to create longer camp stays. Our limited enrollment of around 120 per session allows campers to grow as individuals and bond like family. Through our core values of inclusivity, authenticity, mindfulness, empathy, stewardship, and integrity, we help each other find joy in our uniqueness and dance outside our comfort zones.
Four themes guide everything we do as a summer camp, each and every day.
Connect
Humans need connection! Keeping our camp family small enables everyone to feel included and form genuine connections. Making friends is natural in a place that celebrates uniqueness, authenticity, and a sense of family. A lot of our campers come back year after year!
Unplug
Humans need time in the present moment. Taking time away from the constant buzz of technology, time for quiet, for the sounds of nature, for true rest. As we unplug from technology, we find joy as we plug back into an authentic life.
Explore
Humans need nature. Our program encourages campers to fall in love with the great outdoors. The hills, forest, and streams surrounding the ranch beckon adventurous campers. This beautiful environment provides ample opportunity for grounding and immersion in nature.
Grow
Humans are meant to grow! Mountain Meadow Ranch is a place where campers conquer fears, overcome challenges, and find themselves amidst a vibrant and supportive community. There are boundless opportunities here to discover all that you can be.
Daily Rhythm
A typical day at Mountain Meadow Ranch consists of three meals a day, activities chosen by campers, and plenty of time to relax. Our program allows campers the most flexibility to choose how they want to have fun! We end most evenings around the campfire to connect before bedtime. At these times, a camp director will provide some food for thought and encouragement as campers pause to reflect on the day’s end and the fun that still lies ahead.
