THE ART RANCH PROGRAMS
THE ARTS
At The Art Ranch, the focus will be giving close personal attention to the individual, as well as working with small groups and teaching them how to collaborate with one another in a variety of disciplines.
HEALTH & FITNESS
The Art Ranch is dedicated to creating an Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Program as a sustainable ongoing program that explores the best ways to nurture health and wellness, preserve our natural resources and support our local communities.
BIOSCIENCE
The Art Ranch programs build a strong sense of community through collaborative projects and group discovery. This process deepens the students’ appreciation of diverse perspectives and develops the ability to approach others with openness and flexibility.
SUSTAINABLE LIVING
Master Educators lead the over night pack trip into the wilderness, teaching the seven principles of “Leave No Trace” hiking, tracking and survival.
INDIGENOUS STUDIES
The ArtRanch provides multiples classes teaching students about the art, culture and traditions of the indigenous Native Americans.
