Visit Us

We love that you want to visit us!

We love that you want to join us! Ranch Camp can host groups up to 72 people for $18 per person per night and can also arrange meals for $13.50 per person, or you can use our kitchen. There are many opportunities to volunteer at Rancho la Hermosa Orphanage, the Mentorship House, and in the community.

  • There are certain kinds of work that visitors CAN do and certain kinds of work visitors CANNOT do. For example, the orphanage has a full staff. They do laundry, help kids get baths, talk to kids about personal issues, take them to school, etc. We usually don't have visitors do the basic day-to-day caring of the kids. Visitors do the extras that we are either unable to do or unable to afford to do. 

    What we’d LOVE for you to do when you visit:

    • Buy, prepare, and serve lunch or dinner for our kids and staff! 

    • Paint, weed, or landscape around the property, if needed

    • Play soccer, basketball, or hang out on the playground with some of our kids

    • Read with our kids with Spanish books from our library

    • Bring approved-in-advance crafts, games, and activities you can do with our kids

    • Bring donations of these items with you (these are super-helpful for us!)

    • Buy paint and brushes and then paint one of our buildings, fences, or playground equipment

    • Buy a dump truck of gravel and spread in our parking areas or driveway

    • If skilled, help with some technical maintenance around the property, if needed

    • If skilled, join the construction team at the Mentorship House property in town

    • Other ideas as needed!
