About

Welcome to YMCA Raintree Ranch, a one-of-a-kind overnight horseback riding camp nestled in the beautiful mountains of Julian, California. Our small, specialty camp is dedicated to giving kids and teenagers ages 9 to 16 the ultimate western horseback riding experience in a safe, supportive and fun environment.

With 42 horses, multiple riding arenas and over 230 acres of scenic forest trails, every camper—from first-time beginners to experienced riders—finds the perfect place to learn and grow. Campers spend half of each day immersed in riding activities including arena lessons, ground classes on horse anatomy and care, and guided trail rides through our stunning property.

Beyond horseback riding, Raintree Ranch offers classic overnight camp traditions including campfires, evening activities, a weekly Friday Horse Show with Bolo awards ceremony, and a celebratory BBQ. Campers build lasting friendships, develop confidence and independence, and create memories that last a lifetime - all while being guided by trained staff who maintain a 2:10 ratio of counselors to campers.

Our Bolo Program, a unique horsemanship achievement system, helps guide campers through a natural skill progression from beginner (Pony level) all the way to Raintree Rancher, ensuring every rider has clear goals and a rewarding sense of accomplishment.
