Summer Vacations for Large Families

April 12, 2019

With all the planning, organizing and coordinating involved, large family trips don’t always feel like the vacations they’re meant to be. But if you choose the right destination, your next family vacation can be everything you dream of — and more.

When choosing a summer vacation destination to bring your large family, make sure it has the following:

A Kids Program

As great as family time is, you’ll really appreciate having some kids-free, stress-free time during your vacation. With a Kids Program to entertain your children during the day, you’ll be able to get some much-needed relaxation time — without having to worry about your little ones.

Your kids are sure to have an unforgettable vacation at our Kids Program. After all, there’s a whole team dedicated to keeping them safe and showing them an amazing time.

And the best part? While your kids are having fun and making memories, you can do whatever your heart desires, not what they want. It’s a win-win for everyone involved! You get time to yourself, your kids get to do all sorts of fun things, and we get to explore the mountain outdoors with all the youngsters together.

Age-appropriate Activities

Your teenager’s idea of fun isn’t the same as your 5-year-old’s, and neither of them wants to do the activities on your itinerary. Take your family somewhere there are activities to do together, as well as on your own. There should be kid-specific activities, things your teenager will want to do, activities for the adults, as well as fun for the whole family.

Here at C Lazy U Ranch, we offer all sorts of age-appropriate activities for various age groups, including:

  • Kids under 3
  • Kids age 3 to 5 (What we call cowpokes!)
  • Mustangs, kids 6 to 12
  • Teens 13 to 17
  • Adults 18 and up

Learn more about the amazing activities we offer at our Kids and Teens Programs.

Opportunities for Adult Time

Family vacations can be a balancing act, especially when you have a large family. You want the kids (and everyone else) to have fun, but you also want chances for the adults to relax and unwind — this is a vacation after all.

Your family’s summer vacation destination should offer plenty of opportunities for adult-only time. Things like spa treatments, hiking, horseback riding, yoga, and fly fishing are best enjoyed in the company of adults (they’re less likely to scare the fish away!).

By giving yourself time to unwind and enjoy yourself sans-kids, you’ll be all the more appreciative when you come back together at dinnertime.

Time for Family Togetherness

You want your family to go home closer than ever and cherish the memories of this vacation for years to come. When you go somewhere family-focused for summer vacation, that’s exactly what can happen.

Go somewhere that offers a healthy balance of family time and adventure time, with plenty of family-friendly activities and opportunities for family bonding.

Here at C Lazy U Ranch, there are lots of ways to bond with your family, including family horseback rides, guided hikes, a ropes course and the chance for your kids to catch their first fish.

From the Horse's Mouth

We loved chatting with the ranch hands and learning all about the history of C Lazy U. Special call out for Ally who was so friendly and showed us an excellent and adventurous ride all while making us feel welcome. Spencer's stories were fantastic and we appreciated him sharing his experiences all while having a great time exploring the trails. Franny was so helpful and attentive during the clinical sessions. I took lessons as a kid and never got so much one-on-one help with my posture and horsemanship. Though we were rusty, she made us feel so comfortable. We were both nervous but she put us immediately at ease. Thanks to the ranch hands for such a wonderful experience!
