During your stay, you can choose from a range of facilitated adventure activities, outdoor experiences and recreational facilities.

Whether you're bringing a school group, youth group, church group or corporate team, there is something for everyone.
From tackling a gorge hike and flying across the dam on our zip line to building rafts, playing paintball or relaxing around a campfire, Teen Ranch makes it easy to fill your days with memorable experiences.

Something for Everybody

Whether your group wants adrenaline, competition, learning, relaxation or simply time together, Teen Ranch provides plenty of options.

You can build a programme around facilitated adventure activities, combine organised activities with free time, or simply enjoy the farm and its surroundings at your own pace.

Adventure. Teamwork. Nature. Fun. Memories.

That's what a Teen Ranch experience is all about

ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES

Gorge Hike

Take an adventurous hike onto a neighbouring farm and make your way down into a beautiful natural gorge. With ropes assisting the group along the route, the hike leads to a picturesque waterfall where participants can cool off with a swim.  It's an opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the area while encouraging teamwork, perseverance and a sense of adventure.

ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES

Obstacle Course

Our rope-based obstacle course winds through the farm and challenges participants to work together to complete a series of activities.  It's not just about getting to the finish — groups need to communicate, encourage one another and solve problems together, making it a great activity for team building and leadership development.

Campfires

Bass Fishing

Enjoy some quiet time beside the dam and try your hand at bass fishing. It's a relaxed outdoor activity and a great way to slow down after a busy day.

Swimming Pool

Cool off and relax in our swimming pool. It's a popular way to unwind between activities and gives groups a chance to enjoy some free time.  Leaders must be present when the pool is used.

Soccer & Volleyball

Get everyone moving with a game on our soccer field or a competitive volleyball match. Both are great options for informal recreation and group fun.
