Castle Rock Ranch Camp
Castle Rock Ranch Camp is a summer camp for kids located in the Bitterroot Mountain range in Idaho's northern panhandle. We're a kids camp with a farm-to-table curriculum, located on a ranch with a mile of frontage on the Coeur D'Alene river. Our mission is to cultivate an interest in ranch life, the outdoors, sustainable food, gardening and agriculture, and to disconnect from technology and reconnect with the natural world in a soul-rejuvenating, rural setting. Kids ride horses and float down the river everyday, but also learn about ranch animal care and growing food. The majority of our food comes from the ranch: we have an extensive vegetable garden and over 100 blueberry bushes, strawberry plants, and a raspberry orchard, in addition to chickens, cows and goats. Kids help with ranch chores in the morning - milking the goats, collecting eggs, feeding the animals and harvesting from the garden - and have the opportunity to help in the kitchen if they're interested as well.
