Kids Camp at Elk River Guest Ranch SPECIAL NOTE:

The Elk River Guest Ranch was established in 1950 as a mountain retreat for families and kids from all over the United States. Spectacularly situated on the banks of the upper Elk River and backed up to the magnificent Routt National Forest and Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area, the Elk River Guest Ranch offers an outstanding environment for children.

In it's long standing tradition of providing safe, fun western wilderness experiences, the Elk River Guest Ranch is offering it's annual summer camp session. The focus of the summer camp is western horsemanship and wilderness appreciation. Daily horseback rides, hikes and other activities are designed to be fun as well as educational.

During their stay, children will learn:

  • the basics of western riding and horse care;
  • how to catch, groom and saddle;
  • mountain trail riding;
  • how to build a campfire;
  • to appreciate and identify local wildlife and other natural resources.
Our objective is to teach horsemanship and wilderness appreciation in a fun, safe, and organized program so that the experience of our summer camp will be fondly remembered for a lifetime.
