About
The Ranch Youth Camps and Programs offers activities such as fishing, kayaking, scavenger hunts, hikes, games, arts & crafts, tennis, sports, and songs. Camp options include Angel Island Day Camp, Fantastical Adventure Day Camps, Art & Garden Camp, Campus Kids Day Camp, Higgins Tennis Camps, and a STEM + Sports Lab using Lego materials.
• Ages: 4–13 years old
• Schedule: Office hours run Monday–Friday, 9:00am–4:30pm, with camp options that include partial- and full-day schedules and weekly sessions from June 15 through August 14, 2026.
• Price: Angel Island Day Camp, Fantastical Adventure Day Camps, Art & Garden Camp, Campus Kids Day Camp, Higgins Tennis Camps, and the STEM + Sports Lab range from about $132 to $545 per listed session, depending on camp, week, location side, age group, and resident/non-resident status.
Angel Island Day Camp has over 45 years of outdoor summer camp traditions, with weekly themes where counselors and children are encouraged to dress for the theme each Wednesday, and campers are divided into age groups and transported to Angel Island State Park daily. Fantastical Adventure Day Camps transform the Dairy Knoll Center according to each camp so campers are immersed in specific magical worlds such as Harry Potter, Demon Hunters, Pokemon League, Percy Jackson, Wicked, and Star Wars. Art & Garden Camp runs on specific weeks between June 15 and August 14, 2026, and pairs educational lessons with arts & crafts projects. Campus Kids Day Camp is specifically for children aged 4–5 years and is held in a classroom and outdoor setting to ease transition back to school, with guidance to pack a lunch, wear layers and sunscreen, and be prepared for messy activities.
Higgins Tennis Camps for 4–5 year olds include games such as Feed the Monkeys and Animal Tennis, Higgins Bucks, a Buck Hunt, and a Bucks Store where children buy prizes. Higgins Tennis Camps for 6–12 year olds focus on tennis strokes, rallying skills, competitive play, and games such as Angry Birds Tennis, Skyball, and Big Kahuna, along with a Water Fun Day (no swimming) and a Higgins Bucks Store where children buy prizes on Fridays. The STEM + Sports Lab using Lego materials is offered June 22–26 from 9:00am–2:00pm.
The Ranch (Belvedere Tiburon Joint Recreation) was established in June 1975 under a Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Belvedere and the Town of Tiburon, and the name was changed to The Ranch in 2013. The mission of The Ranch is to enhance the experience of living in the community and to play an active role in helping it be a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling place and way to live. The Ranch offers over 500 classes and activities each year and registers over 4,800 participants, and it is supported by participant fees rather than annual tax-payer funding. The governing committee consists of nine members: four appointed by the City of Belvedere (including one council member), four appointed by the Town of Tiburon (including one council member), and one at-large member appointed by and being a member of the Reed Union School District. The leadership team includes an office administrator, youth supervisors for youth contractors, camps, and youth ranch programs, an adult supervisor for adult programs, and a recreation director for facility rentals and tennis.
