Since 1953, the JCC Ranch Camp has been creating Jewish memories and friendships that last a lifetime. Located in Colorado's magnificent Black Forest, the Ranch Camp provides programs for children entering grades 2-11, offers a truly western experience and boasts one of the nation's most extensive equestrian programs found in a Jewish setting. In addition to horseback riding, campers also enjoy a wide variety of activities including outdoor Shabbat celebrations, low and high ropes course activities, swimming (in our heated pool!), archery, canoeing, mountain biking, teen travel camps and more! The Ranch Camp also offers a supervised kosher kitchen facility.
Campers from more than 25 states, Israel and several foreign countries attend this camp in a unique Colorado ranch setting. Our staff comes from all over the United States, Israel, and throughout the world as well. All staff members are selected based on their experience with children and their commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of campers. Strict background screening policies are followed in the selection process as well.
