Hey, Camp Fans!
It’s that time again to take a moment here on the Everything Summer Camp Blog to highlight one of the many summer camps with whom we’re proud to have developed a wonderful relationship. For our first Summer Camp Spotlight of the new year, we’re fixing our light on our friends in the heart of Missouri where we find Bear River Ranch.
This beautiful summer camp is located on 300 acres nestled away in the Ozarks. Bear River Ranch is used exclusively by Cub Creek Science Camp throughout the summer season. Learn, collaborate, and have fun in a beautiful outdoor setting of Bear River Ranch!
A well-rounded, educational experience, you’ll learn all about the natural world of physics when you execute a run-through the Ropes Course at Bear River Ranch. Or brush up on your chemistry in the Bear River kitchen! Get your geology lessons in in their gemstone quarry. You’ll even have the opportunity for zoology with Bear River’s very own private zoo of more than a hundred species of animals!
That’s right! Bear River has their own zoo for their campers to enjoy; take a llama for a walk, make friends with a fox, give a lemur its lunch, hold a snake or lizard, and plenty of other fun things with furry (or not so furry) creatures.
On top of all that, you practice your Archery and Riflery, Hiking Trails, Survival Skills, and Spelunking for summer adventures. Engross yourself in fun crafts like friendship bracelets, tie-dye, pottery, ceramics, photography, and more.
As mentioned above, this ranch provides miles of hiking trails, Archery and Riflery range, a gemstone quarry, and Ropes Course. But besides that, they also offer a craft lodge, fishing ponds, game pavilion, the Bear Den (which is a large multipurpose building), a newly constructed dining hall that comfortably seats 350 people.
As for their living quarters, Bear River Ranch boasts 15 cabins which are all set up with heat and air conditioning. Each cabin sleeps 20 folks which means Bear River invites 300 campers for their summer sessions with Cub Creek Science. At this ranch, campers aren’t just suited for overnight stays, but treated to an unforgettable summer camp experience!
