Winter Adventures for the Kids

The The Winter Kids Club is an optional program for children age 3 to 17. Our trained counselors supervise and guide the children and teens in a variety of activities depending on the ages of the kids and the weather conditions. The Kids’ Club meets in the morning and in the afternoon so kids can have time to play with their peers and parents can have time to do the activities they want to do.

Activities for the children participating in the Winter Kids’ Club are:

• Arts and crafts and games in the Patio House
• Grooming clinics
• Pony rides for children under 7
• Sledding and tubing by the pond, ice skating and hockey
• Guided cross country skiing or snowshoe lessons
• Fire building lesson at the warming hut
• BB gun biathlon (11 years and older)
• Indoor Arena equestrian activities such as riding lessons, trail obstacle clinics and/or grooming clinics are also be available upon request

Meals are eaten together as a family, except for the weekends of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Presidents’ Day, when the children eat with their counselors; however teens 16 and 17 have the option to eat with their parents. A great way to have a Colorado winter trip for the entire family.

Ski Trips to Winter Park & Granby Ranch Resorts
