Camp is intentionally small, extremely supportive, and built around experiences that help kids feel strong again.
Lodging, meals, activities, and supplies are covered thanks to donors and partners.
Personal attention and a calmer environment — where the focus is on individuality and growth.
Horseback riding, ranch chores, outdoor adventures, and hands-on responsibility caring for the animals.
Medical support, trained staff, and thoughtful programming built for kids recovering from cancer.
Every day blends hands-on ranch life, outdoor experiences, and time to relax and bond with new friends. Campers choose their pace — whether that’s tackling new challenges or simply enjoying the quiet of the Colorado mountains.
Each camper grooms and rides their own horse daily, exploring the ranch and surrounding land while building confidence and trust.
Challenge yourself on our ropes course and archery range with encouragement from counselors every step of the way.
Feed the cows, hand out hay, and experience a mini cattle drive — a true taste of working ranch life in Colorado.
Walk forest paths, spot wildlife, build log cabins together, camp under the stars, and gather around the campfire for stories and s’mores.
Swim against the current in our indoor pool — a camper favorite no matter the weather.
Air hockey, ping pong, darts, board games, and plenty of laughs with new friends.
Work on hands-on projects and crafts — and take home what you make as a keepsake from camp.
There are plenty of activities — and just as much permission to slow down. Campers can relax in the reading area, spend quiet time in nature, or simply hang out with friends. At Nighthawk Ranch, every child is encouraged, while cared for, to choose how they experience their week.
