There are thousands of ways for children and families to learn, explore and heal at the ranch through our creative and nature based programs.
Three zip lines pass through a tree canopy and over a beautiful grotto with natural springs and hiking trails. When not grazing, the ranch’s horses, Rusty and Comet, provide a great canvas for painting, as well as therapeutic and educational interaction. ‘Chillville’ is an accessible replica of our beautiful Hill Country creeks, a place where Ranchers can play in the water and enjoy a refreshing experience. Carolyn’s Canyon Crawl, a high cable crossing over the Ranch’s grotto, builds confidence – and is a thrilling experience!
