Wagon rides behind the tractor, fun on the hay stacks, rope swings, flying kites, skipping rocks over the lake, nature hikes and fun in the sprinklers on hot days.
They can even practice swinging a rope, just like real cowpunchers! An arts and crafts table will allow your child to unlease his/her creative skills while they customize their own camp T shirts. Is there a better way to spend the summer?
