Overview

Klein Ranch is where self-confidence soars. With our small group approach, campers enjoy personalized attention while building strong connections. Our focus on horse experiences helps campers develop valuable life skills like responsibility, communication, and teamwork. Join us for a transformative faith-filled adventure where small groups, horse experiences, and a supportive atmosphere combine to boost self-confidence and create lasting memories in the stunning South Dakota landscape.

Nestled on a western horse ranch, Klein Ranch offers a unique experience that emphasizes horsemanship, small group living, natural and historic awareness, and teamwork. Our campers benefit from growing their faith with their counselors, making new friends, exploring the countryside on horseback, hiking the mini-badlands, and learning to care for animals.
