    Activities at the Ranch

     

    Children staying at Skylight Respite Ranch will be involved in nearly every aspect of ranch life from animal care and gardening to cooking and cleaning.

    Participants will help plant, weed, harvest, and best of all, eat the produce!
    Chickens
    Chickens
    Who knew that chickens would become one of the favorite attractions at the ranch? It's fun to feed the chickens, and it's even more fun to collect the eggs. They don't always lay them in the nesting boxes, so it's like an Easter egg hunt every day!
    Goats

    Likey and Stormy are our goats. They are very friendly and love attention. During certain seasons our guests may even be able to help milk them.
    Horses
