Orme Heritage Ranch Camp
July 2-8, 2025

Become a real cowboy or cowgirl, and experience the thrill of the Old West at Orme’s Heritage Ranch Camp. This will be a truly unique adventure for youth ages 8-17. Set on the historic Orme School campus, this camp offers an authentic ranch experience where tradition meets adventure.

The American West is Calling. Will You Answer?

Have you ever dreamed of living in the iconic American Western Frontier? During your summer experience at Orme, campers will saddle up and ride across the sprawling Orme Ranch, immersing themselves in the same breathtaking landscapes once roamed by legends like Wyatt Earp. They’ll explore millions of acres of the Prescott National Forest, follow ancient trails, and visit nearby Anasazi ruins, all while taking in the diverse wildlife that thrives along Ash Creek.

You can’t be a true country wrangler without a horse of course! During this ranch camp, you will bond with your new equine friends while discovering the secrets of the Wild West. But the adventure doesn’t stop there. Campers will also learn the ropes—literally—by working with cattle, honing their roping skills, mastering the basics of gymkhana games, and learning important horsemanship skills to propel them to the next level of riding. All riding experience levels are welcome. Put your boots on because your horse is waiting!

After a full day of riding, campers will get to cool off in the pool, and swap stories of their time in the saddle with friends. As the sun sets, we will wind down with evenings around the campfire, where stories of western lore come to life under the starry Arizona sky and, of course, there will be s’mores!

Orme’s Heritage Ranch Camp is more than just a summer camp. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to live the cowboy/cowgirl way, building lasting memories, making new friends, and connecting with the rich history of the American West.

Registration opens in late fall and space is limited.
