Your kids will have the time of their lives as counselors lead them through a variety of activities throughout the week. The following is a sampling of just some of the programs they can expect:

• Horseback riding and instruction (mornings and afternoons)
• Fishing, instruction and equipment provided
• Archery
• Riflery
• Power tubing or water skiing on nearby Navajo Reservoir (Rough Riders and Teen groups)
• Half-day raft trip
• Overnight campout in teepees (Rough Riders and Teen groups)

Beginning at age 5 through 17 our children and teen program is divided into three groups, each with their own counselor (5-8 Buckaroos, 9-12 Rough Riders, 13-17 teens). This allows them to participate in activities with their peers at their own level of energy. The program is tailored to each group every week.

As parents, you will enjoy seeing your children discover new activities in our mountain environment. Everyone is having fun. This allows you to enjoy your vacation time as much as your children. The ranch is like summer camp for adults too.

A unique feature of Colorado Trails Ranch is the sense of "family" that develops during the course of the week. With everyone arriving and departing at the same time strong friendships develop among our guests and especially the children. It is not unusual for families to book next year's vacation for the same week in order to renew friendships that have been cultivated during their week at the ranch.
