Ekone Ranch
Thursday, August 20, 2026
August 20-23, 2026 (Thursday-Sunday)
All Ages! Bring your babies, bring your grandmas!
Base Tuition $350; Restoration Rate $500; per person aged 6+
Bring your whole family to Ekone for a long weekend of forest walks, ponies, rope swings, music night, and delicious meals! “Family” could include parents, kids, grandparents, pals, coworkers—whoever you want to share some Ekone Magic with. (Kids are most welcome but not required! You can also come solo!)
Activities on offer will be casual and fun—guided hikes, music night, games on the lawn, yoga, crafts, cemetery tours, etc., but families can also relax by the pond, enjoy the rope swings and “Narnia” willow forest, go on self-guided walks, and spend some idle time however you see fit. Remember that Ekone is a tech-free experience, so get ready to unplug and enjoy the sunsets, frogs, birdsong, naps and adventures!
All kids aged 0-18 will get a chance to ride Ekone’s wonderful horses, but due to limited time in this short session, adults should not expect to ride. But *everyone* will be invited to spend meaningful time with the ponies!
Family Camp is a great way to introduce younger kids to the Ekone way of life, help nervous kids get comfortable at the ranch in preparation for summer camp, connect with other kids and families in a relaxing and peaceful environment, and get a break from the daily grind of family life (we do the cooking!)
Space is limited to 10 families. Families will share space in the bunkhouse--if you would like your own space, please let us know and plan to bring a tent!
