We love seeing camp alumni and new faces around the ranch. Join us for one of our planned weekends, rent a guestroom with your family, or just stop by to say hi.

Alumni Weekend

Spend a weekend with friends of the Bar 717 Ranch! Each year we host a weekend at the ranch for Alumni (and family) to visit with old friends, eat ranch meals on the eating platform, and spend time enjoying the river. This relaxed weekend is a great way to visit the ranch each year, although we do not run programs during alumni weekend, we do dance, sing around the campfire, and enjoy each others company. Check out the dates of our upcoming alumni weekends, or enroll here. Our 2024 Alumni Weekend is May 30-June 2.

Volunteer Work Weekend

Campers, counselors, and community members have built and maintained every part of the Bar 717 Ranch. In the spring and fall of each year we continue that tradition with Volunteer Work Weekends. We welcome you to the ranch for a weekend of ranch projects. Past projects have included: building platforms, peeling poles, clearing trees for fire prevention, work in the gardens, and food preservation. Work weekends are scheduled as needed; check out our event calendar or subscribe to campservations to find out about upcoming work weekends.

Room Rentals

Our guestrooms are available to rent anytime in the off-season, if you would like to spend a weekend at the ranch with your friends or family, please contact us for rates and availability.

Family Camp

We host a week-long session of Family Camp near the end of each summer. During family camp you can horseback ride, learn to silkscreen, swim in the river, and enjoy a variety of camp activities for the whole family.

Visit for the Day

Please contact us if you would like to stop by the ranch. While we cannot always accommodate visitors while our summer camp is in session, we would love to find a time for you to visit the ranch in the off-season.
