Embrace Joy and Join the Movement Today!

The Embrace Joy Movement is where camp, creativity, and community come together. Celebrate You (yeah, we’re looking at you—create a fundraiser for your birthday, wedding, or any other personal accomplishment), Host an Event (it’s your party you can do what you want to — host an yoga class, a bingo night, or your own style of event), Get Active (see that mountain over there—it needs climbing or run that half marathon—fundraise for your next physical feat), or Freestyle (you can’t camp dance wrong—fundraise in your own style!) to raise funds and awareness for Roundup River Ranch. Whatever you do, do it with joy to provide opportunities for children with serious illnesses to discover joy, friendships, and confidence! Start your own fundraiser or join one of our feature events below!

Fund A Cabin

$25,000

We’ll leave it to our campers to tell you about the friendships they make in their cabins, “The friends I meet here can relate to my life. The good and the bad, the struggles and strife. That makes us grow closer and feel less alone. These are the friendships I could never imagine at home.

Get Started

Heal The Soul

$10,000

We provide individualized medical care for each of our campers. Our physician and nurse volunteers leave their lab coats and scrubs behind and join our medical team at camp. And while they may not “look” like doctors or nurses when they’re swinging from a zip line, the truth is they are constantly focused on the needs and well-being of every camper.

We Are Family

$5,000

At Roundup River Ranch, there’s no age limit on silliness, laughter, or needing a break from the real world. So at camp, families are supported with love and empathy as they relish this unique chance to escape the stress of their child’s medical condition, and connect with others who are on a similar journey. We love knowing that a family dancing together is also healing together.

Sponsor A Camper

$3,000

Camp - changing lives, one summer and one camper at a time. Every single thing we do, every decision we make, every game we play, even every song we sing are done in the best interest of our campers. We put campers and their families first. Always.

How‘s Your Aim

$1,000

BULLSEYE! Targets, bows, and being savvy about safety. All of that and more thanks to you! Your support means that campers will be able to develop confidence. Like all of our programs archery is adapted to meet the needs of each and every camper- this would not be possible without you!

Get Started

Spread S‘More Love

$500

Gather around the campfire. Thanks to you chocolate, graham crackers, creative ingredients like apples, and gooey fingers will all be a part of the fun! This is campers’ first introduction to the magic of camp and shared experiences.

Get Started

Get Creative

$250

Provide necessary supplies for the Art Yurt, the place where anything goes and everyone is an artist. Provide supplies like glow in the dark paint, wooden frames, glitter, and much, much more. Your generosity allows campers to express their individuality and show off their creative talents.

Get Started

Dish It Out

$100

YOU know how kids get giggling and they can’t stop, and then they snort through their nose and then the giggling gets ridiculously more uncontrollable until everyone is giggling and snorting and actually crying tears of laughter? That is the ultimate success story of a “No-Hands Spaghetti Dinner.”

Get Started

Join the Roundup River Ranch family at one of our team events.

From S’More Camp T-Shirt Challenge to Driving for Kids, we have an event for everyone.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and here at Roundup River Ranch we know how important mental health is. 💚 That is why yesterday our seasonal staff spent the day doing Youth Mental Health First Aid training with SpeakUpReachOut.

Through this training, they are now certified mental health first-aiders through the @nationalcouncil. We recognize the importance of mental health education and the role we can play in the lives of the children we serve, which is why this training was so important for our seasonal staff who provide direct care to our campers all summer long.

Here at Roundup River Ranch, we create an environment for our campers to practice resilience and build relationships. These are considered protective factors, which actually counteract risk factors and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)! From prevention, to intervention, to postvention, they are prepared to recognize signs and symptoms of a mental health crisis and assess how to help our campers.

HUGE thanks to Walter, Darla, and Kirby with @speakupreachoutec for leading our seasonal staff through the course and for making this training possible. #YouthMentalHealth #MentalHealthEducation #MentalHealthFirstAid

We got that Friday feelin` cause we get to introduce you to Carly, our full-time, year-round Behavioral Health Manager. 🤗

"I was drawn to the mission of RRR because of the opportunity for all of the campers, families, volunteers, staff, donors (and more!) to have fun and embrace joy through the work of RRR."

So far, Carly`s biggest takeaway is the commitment of the team to build connections with everyone at camp. She`s most excited for the camp season to officially start, and getting to see the magic that happens here! ✨

"My role as the Behavioral Health Manager entails supporting campers and families with any social emotional needs. I also am collaborating with RRR staff and the medical advisory committee to support campers with behavioral health diagnoses."

Her favorite guidepost is "Superheroes are everywhere". 🦸

We are ecstatic to have Carly on board to support year-round programs from a Behavioral Health standpoint, jumping right in to prepare for Summer Camp and Family Camp season! Help us give Carly a warm camp welcome! 🫶
