During Winter, Spring and Fall the C Lazy U Ranch offers an optional Kid’s Club for guests who are staying on ranch. Parents can enroll their children in the morning or afternoon sessions, or both. Counselors entertain and supervise the children as they do age-appropriate activities geared toward making the most of Colorado’s seasons and whatever bounty nature provides while guests are staying. We designed it to be a flexible program that adapts to the weather and the ages of the children who are enrolled that day.
The main differences between the Kid’s Club and the Summer/Holiday Children’s Programs are:
Kid’s Club |
Children’s Program |
| Signup required | Sign-up not necessary: the ranch plans for all children to participate |
| All meals eaten together | Dinners eaten separately |
| All horseback rides together | Adults and children ride separately except for the weekly family ride |
| Ages 3-12 only, no teens | Children grouped into 4 different age groups including teens age 13 -17 |
When
The Kid’s Club is available primarily September through May, except for periods where the ranch is running the full Children’s Program during the summer, Christmas and New Year’s.

Important Things to Know
- Horseback riding is not offered on Sundays. The feed wagon, sleigh rides and other activities will be available in lieu of horseback riding.
- Please note that ice skating typically closes at the end of February due to warmer temperatures.
- Outdoor activities are weather dependent. Please see our packing lists by season so you can come prepared for all types of weather.
