The Ranch Youth Camps and Programs

The Ranch Youth Camps and Programs offers activities such as fishing, kayaking, scavenger hunts, hikes, games, arts & crafts, tennis, and a Water Fun Day (no swimming). Angel Island Day Camp weeks each have a different theme, and counselors and children are encouraged to dress for the theme each Wednesday. Campus Kids Day Camp asks families to pack a lunch, have children wear layers and sunscreen, and be prepared for messy activities, and the tennis camps for younger children include games like Feed the Monkeys, Animal Tennis, Higgins Bucks, Buck Hunt, and a Bucks Store, while the 6–12 year old tennis camps feature Higgins Bucks, Water Fun Day (no swimming), and a Higgins Bucks Store where children buy prizes on Fridays.

Angel Island Day Camp has over 45 years of outdoor summer camp traditions, 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 theme so campers are immersed in each specific world. Art & Garden Camp connects children with nature through educational lessons paired with arts & crafts projects, and Campus Kids Day Camp is specifically designed for children aged 4–5 years with Ranch staff at a local Reed campus. The Ranch offers over 500 classes and activities each year and registers over 4,800 participants, and it does not receive annual tax-payer funding and is supported by participant fees.

The Ranch is a public agency formed under a Joint Powers Agreement between the Town of Tiburon and the City of Belvedere in 1975, and in 2013 the name was changed to The Ranch. Its mission 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 leadership team includes Office Administrator Elisabeth Seage, Youth Supervisor Youth Contractors and Camps Tina Morales, Youth Supervisor Youth Ranch Programs Dan Bednarczyk, Adult Supervisor Adult Programs Heather Wilson, and Recreation Director Facility Rentals – Tennis Jessica Hotchkiss. The Ranch’s board includes a ninth member who is appointed by and is a member of the Reed Union School District, and photos on its About page are courtesy of the Belvedere-Tiburon Landmarks Society.
