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!

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

I participated in the Julie Goodnight Clinic and loved every single minute. As a fairly new rider, I was worried that I would get overwhelmed or feel left behind, but instead I learned so much from instructors and participants.

I've already been using some of the skills I learned and my horses and I are more connected and I can tell my riding has improved 10x. Just can't say enough good things about Julie and her team. If the sessions were spread out to 5 days, I would be onboard because it was pretty intense (although I think it was exactly what I needed as a newer rider).
