Located in beautiful North San Diego County in sunny Southern California, Rawhide Ranch is a one of a kind ranch camp for kids. It is a high energy, completely unique, year-round youth camp program for kids ages 7-15. We have 50+ horses and nearly 100 livestock animals that nearly 150 kids ride and work with everyday. Our cabins are covered wagons, a cavalry fort, tee pees and an old schoolhouse. The camp itself is an old west town.
