Quality Programs & Long-Standing Traditions
Hide-a-Way Ranch at Camp Jewell YMCA provides a unique setting for our horse-loving Ranch Campers to enjoy a traditional camp experience with an equestrian focus. The one thing everyone has in common at Ranch Camp is the love and enjoyment of horseback riding and working with horses. This creates a stronger, more personal relationship between the campers in their cabins, riding groups, and in the overall Ranch Camp program.

Leadership Programs
Leaders-in-Training (LIT) Ages 15-16
Our Leadership in Training (LIT) programs provide an amazing experience focused on individual development, team building, and self-discovery all while having fun at camp. With a schedule that is unique to their villages, they spend time learning about leadership, as well as practicing and developing their skills. Campers leave our LIT program more confident of their skills in public speaking, decision-making and problem solving.
