Castle Rock Ranch Camp ~ Girl’s Ranch Camp - Gift Certificate for (1) 2-week session during Summer 2015

Value: $2,200 

Castle Rock Ranch Camp is a ranch camp with a farm-to-table curriculum.  It’s an overnight summer camp for boys and girls ages 8 – 15, located on a picturesque ranch alongside the Coeur D’Alene river in Northern Idaho.  We’re located near Kingston, ID, 45 minutes east of Coeur D’Alene, and 1½ hours east of Spokane, WA.

Here kids have fun, participate in ranch life, learn about sustainable gardening, eat, cook, and try new foods, build confidence while learning new skills, and create lasting memories – while horseback riding, hiking, tubing, animal care, and swimming every day.

We keep enrollment at Castle Rock limited, so that we can maintain a low camper to counselor ratio.  Small sessions also mean that each camper gets a chance to fully participate in all the activities and experiences we offer, and kids get to have their own horse for the week.

What Castle Rock Ranch Camp offers is best summed up by a happy parent:

“If I dreamt of a camp to send my kids to it would be Castle Rock.  The counselors are wise, committed, and kind.  The location is nothing short of paradise.  The program is stellar.  From sun up to sun down it is about the land, it’s bounty, and how to appreciate it.  We look forward to Castle Rock being the highlight of our summer for years to come.”

Summer sessions are as follows:
Session 1 (Girls Only): June 27 – July 11
Session 2 (Girls Only): July 11 - 25
