Ghost Ranch Family Week – G24060600

 

Light! Community! Action! Come to Ghost Ranch and star in your own movie adventure!

Do you like mysteries? Join a scavenger hunt. Prefer a musical? We have singing and dancing. Action-adventure more your speed? Try hiking or canoeing. And for sports fans, we have swimming, basketball, a ga-ga pit and 9-square in the Air, frisbee, and kickball.  Whatever option you choose, we have it. Spend the first part of July at Ghost Ranch and participate in drawing and dancing, jewelry and journaling, fused glass and games. Enjoy the red rocks, attend morning worship, create unique art, tell stories, share laughter and make countless memories. 

Ghost Ranch Family Week – better than the movies!

Family Week Overview:

You will choose from mini-workshops – a different one for each morning- and participate as a family. Each ‘mini workshop’ is designed to be started and finished in a single morning and most are accessible to ages 5 on up. The presence of an adult is necessary for all offerings. (Choosing mini-workshops will happen separately from registration).

Family time is encouraged in the afternoons ( hiking, swimming, museums, library, games, art). Coordinated family activities are planned each evening. The 4th of July will include float-making, our annual Ghost Ranch Parade, and a BBQ with pinata and prizes.
