Welcome to the Ranch!

Our website, that is.

Our mission is to connect people with nature through outdoor recreation and experiential learning. Circle R Ranch (est. 1966) is a summer camp and outdoor education centre located on a diverse 220 acres of Carolinian forest, fields, ponds, and is bordered by the Dingman creek watershed. There is a program for everyone here, whether you’re a horse lover, a naturalist, a camp enthusiast, a cross country skiier, or a teacher looking to get your class out into nature.

Two women with a white horse outdoors, one woman with reddish hair wearing a black hat and gray jacket, and the other woman with a black riding helmet and navy jacket, smiling at each other. A brown wooden building is in the background.
