Our animal sanctuary is home to over 100 rescued farm animals, creating a meaningful farm and nature-based camp experience.Campers enjoy a supportive, engaging environment filled with hands-on animal care, nature exploration, and outdoor learning. Each week at Rancho Compasión Summer Camp offers a unique experience rooted in connection, confidence-building, and discovery. Children care for rescued farm animals, explore habitats, and participate in garden-to-table activities that deepen their understanding of the interconnectedness of all living beings. Every session blends creativity, movement, and exploration—helping campers build meaningful relationships with nature, animals, and the land while creating a memorable and enriching summer experience.A highlight of camp is our half-acre organic garden, where campers participate in garden-to-table learning, discovering where food comes from and how it connects to the health of the earth.We also provide a fresh, organic lunch each day, nourishing campers with seasonal ingredients—many grown right here at the sanctuary.Perfect for animal lovers, nature enthusiasts, and curious explorers, Rancho Compasión Summer Camp inspires compassion, connection, and a love for the natural world.Camp Activities:Animal Care, Bonding, and enriching activities Educational Garden Adventures Improv & Mindfulness GamesPlant Identification WalksGuest Speakers (WildCare & All About Owls)Creative WorkshopsAnd More!!Follow the link if you're interested in joining us as a CIT https://enrichment.kids/ca/nicasio/rancho-compasion-cit-summer-campCampers and CITs will be provided with all food onsite, including a fresh organic lunch and two daily snacks (morning and afternoon).
