Kids can also participate in many summer, winter, and year-round activities, like archery, arts & crafts, games, hiking, paddleboating, and ropes courses and ziplines. With so much to do, the hardest choice will be deciding what to do next!    

Meet Friends For Life

Throughout the year, C Lazy U runs our renowned Kids and Teens Program, which offers kids the opportunity to try new activities with a group of their peers. During the summer, your child will participate in age-specific activities like donkey cart rides, shodeo, ropes courses, and a trip to the rodeo for teens. By balancing the program’s activities with family time, your child can experience the family vacation of a lifetime and make new friends they’ll remember forever.  

Less Screen Time 

Kids between ages 8 and 18 spend an average of 7.5 hours a day in front of a screen – and that’s not counting computers used for schoolwork or educational purposes. With so much entertainment available at their fingertips, it can be hard to motivate kids to explore the great outdoors.

At C Lazy U, we’ve gone out of our way to limit screens and help your family focus on the important things. While WIFI is available across ranch property to use with your own devices, you won’t find many screens. Even our luxurious rooms feature authentic wood-burning fireplaces in place of televisions. When surrounded by so much wildlife, engaging activities, and nature, most children don’t even miss their devices! 

Get In Touch With Nature 

C Lazy U ranch offers over 8,000 acres of land, giving your children the freedom to explore nature in a whole new way. Traverse into the unknown hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, or on a Ranger tour. You may even spot Colorado wildlife like moose, elk, foxes, and antelope!

New Year’s resolutions always seem to fall into one of two categories: Way too ambitious… or way too boring. We aim for massive lifestyle overhauls (run a marathon! learn a new language overnight!) and then feel guilty when life gets in the way.

From the Horse's Mouth

I can't say enough about your staff. Jackson greeted us as soon as we pulled in. All of the servers were helpful, engaging, and they had an uncanny way of anticipating our every need. Trent must have a superpower because he never seemed to tire of us and our endless requests. He has a terrific sense of humor, and his name recall was outstanding. Peyton killed it with the karaoke (and he probably never wants to hear “Sweet Caroline” for the rest of his life.) He fit right in and had only been on the ranch for 3 days. I enjoyed the shooting time with him and Jackson. And the biggest shoutout to Trevor – hiker extraordinaire. If we'd asked him to take us 15 more miles, he would have done it with a smile. He appeared like magic the morning we left and was able to charge our completely dead car battery so that we could still make our flight. We would not have made it without him. The property is gorgeous, and the staff is over the top. The food, wine and drinks were outstanding. I hope to return next time with my family, though I'd repeat my girls' weekend in a minute.
