Programs We Offer
At Winding Branch Ranch, we're dedicated to innovative and engaging programs that support our mission while providing memorable experiences. Our Rescue Ranch School offers educational opportunities for students to learn about animal care and environmental stewardship.
Compassion in Action
The CIA (Compassion in Action) is Winding Branch Ranch’s hands-on program for middle schoolers that blends animal care, sustainability, and real-world responsibility. Over six immersive weeks, participants (ages 10–14) will muck stalls, build enrichment toys, learn to budget for animal care, and design their own advocacy projects—all while forming bonds with rescued farm animals. It's not just about compassion—it’s about action.
Rescue Ranch School
At Rescue Ranch School, kids are part of the action! From collecting eggs and helping with simple farm chores to planting seeds and exploring the garden, every activity is an opportunity to learn through doing. These hands-on experiences teach responsibility, teamwork, and a love for the outdoors—all while having fun and making lasting memories.
