Experience Unforgettable Family Camp Adventures at Rock Springs Ranch
Family camp at Rock Springs Ranch offers a unique opportunity to escape everyday life and spend quality time with your loved ones in an outdoor setting. This immersive camping experience allows families to explore nature and foster a sense of togetherness.
Andrea Feldkamp, who was enrolled in Kansas 4-H for 12 years in Ellis County, Kansas, and then later worked as the 4-H Extension Agent in Riley County. She attended family camp in 2023 alongside her husband and three children. She said the experience is not like any other experience you can get, and the price to participate is affordable for most family budgets.
"We selected family camp as a way to explore Rock Springs before our two boys attended 4-H camp for the first time this past summer. We wanted them to learn how to find their way around at camp and become comfortable with the environment," she shares. "The smaller group and laid-back schedule allowed us to explore Rock Springs at our pace."
She said the traditional day-to-day life routines are not present at camp, so it frees your family up to explore and enjoy the experience. Her kids enjoyed the campfire time, and some of the high ropes activities they were able to try as part of this experience. All three kids voted canoes as the number one favorite activity that they can’t wait to do again.
“At Rock Springs Ranch, families can look forward to a wide range of exciting activities and opportunities for connection. From engaging in team-building challenges and outdoor adventures to participating in arts and crafts workshops, there is something for everyone to enjoy,” said Letha Causby, managing director at Rock Springs Ranch. “Family camp also offers the perfect environment for families to network with others, fostering new friendships and creating a supportive community.”
Family camp is offered twice a year at Rock Springs Ranch. The spring session is May 17-19 and the fall session is Aug. 9-11.
