We have designed this program to allow parents time alone for a "breath of fresh air" without creating two separate vacations for the kids and adults! Recognizing the importance of "together time" on your family vacation, meals are a key time for kids, parents, and grandparents to sit down together to share the day's excursions and stories. We have designed the Fox's Den program to offer kids ages 4 -12 activities tailored to their interests. FOX'S DEN ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:
Kid's Only Cookout
Horseback riding
Horseback lessons
Nearby Trail rides
A Lunch Ride
Grooming and Saddling their own horses
Tie-Dye
Making Homemade Ice Cream
Nature Hikes
Trail rides in the mountains surrounding the ranch

Talent Show Performance
Kids who don't have the horsemanship skills to go on trail rides will get the chance to ride in the arena with our wrangler's assistance to practice. The rest of the day is occupied with arts and crafts, games, swimming, coloring activities and many more events organized by the kids' counselors.
