Jameson Ranch Camp

Ride, tend the garden and sleep under the stars on a working ranch where daily contributions matter.

Jameson’s two-week experience includes the daily rhythms of a working ranch. Campers choose activities while also contributing to animal care, gardening or shared chores. Open-air sleeping porches and rustic facilities suit children ready for a distinctly outdoor way of living.
