Check out what’s happening at Rock Springs Ranch
We have a lot of exciting things happening at Rock Springs Ranch! Below are several of our programs with additional information. Our staff is available to answer any questions you may have.
Camp Registration
Each family registers directly with Rock Springs Ranch. If someone has questions about the sessions or camp experience, it is best for them to contact Rock Springs Ranch staff directly at 785-257-3221 or campregistrar@rockspringsranch.org.
Counselors in Training (CIT)
This week-long program is for high school students ages 16-17 that aspire to be dynamic leaders and mentors to younger youth. 4-H is known for its ability to foster mentorship experiences among youth and adults. C.I.T.’s will learn alongside a trained adult counselor who is leading a camp group of 8-10 youth. This program is designed to allow young people the opportunity to provide leadership to younger campers while also establishing their own community and camp experiences, all with the mentorship and supervision of professional youth development staff.
Leaders in Training (LIT)
LIT is a week-long program designed for young men and women who have a drive to learn leadership skills. Through a series of group discussions, team building, initiatives, and challenge course participation we explore each camper’s inner potential and leadership abilities. During their week LITs will also spend time devoted to “Larger Service.” Service projects teach the importance of sharing your talents and generosity with others to show caring for your community, country, and world. LITs will gain documented community service within the local Junction City & Manhattan communities as well as around Rock Springs Ranch. This program is a great way for teens to level up their camp experience!
