One Parent - One Child "Focus Vacations"

Our parent/child focus vacations are an ideal getaway for quality time with one of your children. Not only will you share a bonding vacation, you will both learn and grow as you journey into your chosen area of interest. We offer four different themes for you to choose from. Each week-long vacation is designed for a maximum of 3 parent/child pairs. There is a week for Mothers/Daughters, Mothers/Sons, Fathers/Daughters and Fathers/Sons for each of our themes.

While the primary focus of the week will be spent learning and enjoying aspects of the theme, the process is loosely structured and there will be plenty of time for hiking, swimming, and a host of other activities (go to the activity bar at the beginning of the page).

Our goal is to help you and your child share in an adventure that can be continued long after you leave the ranch. Each of our themes can carry on for a lifetime of further learning and shared adventure.

THE MAGIC of FLIGHT. Imagine a week of actual flight instruction in either a hot air balloon or sport aviation aircraft or BOTH. This instruction is for you and your young adult. And when the daily 'hands on' instruction is over, or the weather is not right for flight, all the other exciting adventures here at the ranch are waiting for you.

ANIMALS, animals, animals. Does your child love animals? Wouldn't it be great to spend a week exploring the world of animals around our ranch. We have quite an array of friendly, affectionate house pets and domesticated farm animals. We are surrounded by more wild animals than you can count. You can see everything from fish and lizards to antelope and deer, coyotes and wild horses. You might even see elk and mountain sheep if you are willing to hike the high country.

WILDERNESS ADVENTURE. Are you rough and ready? Want to tackle the world as it existed when man first hunted here thousands of years ago? Well it is here waiting. Very little has changed. We will have survival training, we'll hike, climb, rappel and share the majesty of the vast open space few people ever get to experience. It will change your concept of the world and your place in it. You will grow far more than a weeks worth.

MUSIC WORKSHOP. It's something you've always wanted to do but have never taken the time. Well, here's your chance to learn the fundamentals of guitar and piano. I'll teach you how to read music and how to carry a tune. Many schools don't have music education available anymore, so here's a chance to introduce your child (and yourself) to one of life's greatest pleasures.
