Our background

Built by people who believe camp should matter

Rancho Camps began with parents, educators and hands-on creators who wanted children to spend summer exploring, moving, building friendships and discovering new interests.

Joy with purpose

Every week balances fun, creativity, teamwork and opportunities to grow.

Experience with a local focus

Our broad camp background is shaped into a welcoming experience for Scottsdale families.

Parents have a real partner

Our Camper Care Team is available to help families compare programs and plan their summer.

What experience looks like here

Trust is built into the camp day

Parents should be able to understand who is leading camp, what children will experience and where to turn when they need help.

Safety-first planning

Adult-led, well-trained teams complete extensive training plus state and nationwide background checks.

Age-appropriate groups

Programs are organized to support meaningful friendships, confidence and developmentally appropriate challenges.

More ways to discover

Campers can create, move, solve problems and try new experiences across our camp families and weekly themes.

Support for busy families

Free extended care gives families helpful flexibility without a separate before- or after-care charge.

The Rancho approach

A balanced summer: create, move and connect

Our goal is simple: help campers become curious, confident lifelong learners while enjoying the kind of active, social summer children remember. Indoor projects and outdoor activities work together, with collaboration and positive guidance throughout the day.

CreateBuild, imagine, design and express ideas.
MovePlay, explore and stay actively engaged.
ConnectCollaborate, make friends and celebrate effort.

Program activities vary by camp, age group and week. Review each program page for current details.
