Session Schedules

Sample Two-Week Schedule

Sample One-Week Schedule

What we call “Mini Camp” is simply a one-week taste of traditional camp life, with no Out-Trips. Whether you are a first time camper looking for a taste of Mountain Meadow Ranch, a returning camper looking for one extra week of activities, or simply looking to fit a week of camp into a busy summer, this session is for you! Mini Camp campers bunk together in traditional Mountain Meadow fashion by age/grade/gender with between two and four counselors per cabin. 

Three add-on options (+$500) enable campers to focus on one special activity during their one-week Mini Camp session.

Mini Camp + HORSES

Campers who enroll for Mini Camp + Horses are guaranteed to ride and work with our horses every day. Our horse program is western and emphasizes developing a holistic understanding and appreciation for horsemanship. Campers will get to know our unique herd, the ins and outs of western riding and tack and horse care.

Mini Camp + WATER SPORTS

Water-loving campers who enroll for Mini Camp + Water Sports will go to the lake three times over the course of the week so they can really work on wakeboarding or skiing. Our Water Sports program is run out of Lake Almanor, which is about a 45-minute van drive from Mountain Meadow Ranch.

Mini Camp + BACKPACKING (14+)

Nature-loving campers who enroll for Mini Camp + Backpacking will get the opportunity to go on a three night backpacking trip! The trip typically leaves Mountain Meadow Ranch on Tuesday and returns Friday after breakfast.
