Our dogs mental health at the Ranch is serious business.

We make sure our dogs get plenty of play time to enjoy just being a happy healthy dog.

🌞 Summer Camp Theme Week – Adventure Awaits! 🌞
Get ready for an unforgettable week filled with adventure, exploration, and hands-on fun!

⛵ Making Monday
Campers will put their creativity and teamwork to the test as they design and build their very own sailboats. Once they're complete, it's time to head to our private lake for an exciting and friendly sailboat race to see whose creation floats—and sails—the best!

🐴 Trotting Tuesday
A day dedicated to our equine friends! Campers will tackle fun obstacle course challenges before enjoying a special horse grooming and grounding session. It's the perfect opportunity to build confidence, learn horsemanship and teamwork skills, and connect with our amazing horses.

💦 Wilderness Wednesday
It's time to dive into nature! Campers will explore the fascinating ecosystems in and around the water, discovering the plants and creatures that call it home. Be prepared to get wet as we splash, investigate, and cheer on some exciting minnow races!

🌲 Thrilling Thursday
Adventure awaits as campers venture into the boreal forest to discover wildlife tracks, nests, birds, and a variety of native wild plants. They'll put their observation skills to the test during an exciting scavenger-style hunt, with a special prize waiting for the winning explorers!

🦅 Falconry Friday
Wrap up the week with an incredible wildlife experience featuring local falconer Jenn Salo and her magnificent birds of prey. Campers will witness an exciting live flight demonstration and enjoy up-close encounters with owls, raptors, and, on occasion, friendly corn snakes and other fascinating birds. It's an unforgettable opportunity to learn about these amazing animals and the important role they play in our ecosystems.

This action-packed week is filled with creativity, discovery, outdoor adventure, and unforgettable experiences. We can't wait to welcome your campers for a week they'll be talking about long after summer ends!

Gerald Roy Jolly Ranch offers a full season of hands‑on, nature‑rich programming designed to build confidence, creativity, and outdoor skills. Weekly themed days introduce campers to woodworking, wilderness exploration, animal care, water activities, and team challenges. Each session blends practical learning with classic ranch adventure, giving campers meaningful experiences in the boreal forest, on the trails, and around the workshop.

Programs feature activities such as building wooden projects, exploring local ecosystems, learning survival techniques, paddling instruction, and engaging with sled dogs in summer. Every day is structured to encourage curiosity, problem‑solving, and teamwork while keeping the focus on safe, supervised outdoor fun.

Sessions run throughout July and August for school‑age campers, with small groups led by our diverse and experienced ranch staff.

Included are the plans for our upcoming July 6th-10th Summer Camps. We are very excited to welcome our 2026 Summer Campers!

We had a blast at our June PD day camp planting a Traditional Three Sisters Garden and our own potted plants.

Our campers had the opportunity to spend part the day enjoying our baby bunnies and chicks as well as welcoming our new pony affectionately named “Floyd” 🐴

A day on the farm is not complete without some aquatic life exploration and boy, do we have tadpoles!

Keep an eye open for our upcoming announcement for our Summer 2026 day camps!
