Ranch Week was spent revisiting the roots of ranching and honoring cowboying traditions. Campers learned the ins and outs of the ranching lifestyle, from putting boots in stirrups, to stewarding animal health, to trying their hands at Western movie making.

Thank you to the the industry professionals, volunteers, educators and campers for a wonderful week. We already cannot wait until next year!
