Horse Programs at the Ranch
The Ranch at CYO Camp Don Bosco horse program focuses on horsemanship and fun. Our low pressure non-competitive program teaches children how to care for the horse they are assigned to and to become comfortable riding and working with them on the ground. The Ranch 2026/2027 School Year Calendar
