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 even an overnight campout 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!

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!
