Barns

The Upper and Lower Horse Barns, located at the foot of Barn Hill, store hay and tack for the Ranch horses. Nearby, the Milking Barn houses hay storage and stanchions for the milk cow or goats, while the Small Animals Barn provides pens for chickens, turkeys, goats, and pigs.

Gardens

Between Main Camp and the barns, the Upper Garden grows raised beds of vegetables, berries, flowers, and fruit trees. A short walk down the hill, the Homestead Garden expands our gardening capacity, with ample space for corn, potatoes, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, and pumpkins—yummy food for happy campers!
