Long Acres Ranch

Attention all grandparents! On Halloween Weekend, we will be hosting Gramps Camp at the ranch. Spend quality time with your grandchildren by camping, exploring nature, and participating in fun activities. Grandchildren must be between the ages of 7 and 14.

Gramps Camp will conclude before lunch on Halloween, so everyone will have plenty of time for trick-or-treating and other festivities.
