White Pines Ranch

White Pines Ranch gives young campers a true ranching experience with their sleepaway camps. It's only an hour and a half away from Chicago, making it close enough to drive but still remote enough to be away from the noise and learn about country living.

Situated in Northern Illinois, White Pines Ranch offers kids ages 8 to 15 to experience the ranching life and activities such as hiking, craftsmanship, and horseback riding lessons.

Campers can learn horsemanship skills, such as saddling, feeding, grooming, and general equine health. The magnificent sandstone canyon provides your children with a unique environment. The morning is filled with fun games and activities, while the evenings are for camp get-togethers and events like talent shows and dances.

They have options for several one-week sessions, all offering different themes.
