ESL Ranch Package (year round)

Western experiences

This is your opportunity to turn learning English into the ultimate adventure. Live an ESL ranch adventure with 15 hours of classroom study per week. Spend your afternoons participating in activities designed to help you practice your English skills and develop conversational fluency. At the same time, you’ll learn how to saddle a horse and then have the confidence to explain the procedure to your partner. Relaxing around the fire Go on a scavenger hunt through the ranch property following increasingly, difficult instructions. Tell your fellow students about the mule deer you saw playing in the back pasture.

You have the opportunity to go all out on the weekends with optional camping trips. In the summer, you can visit a nearby lake and spend the day swimming, or go skiing in the winter. After completing the ESL program, you can use your freshly-honed English skills to enjoy one of our many holidays such as a wilderness Guest Ranch Stay, a Pack Horse Trip, or a Wilderness Alpine Hike.

Winter Program (October–May)

When the frost and snow hit, students stay at the main lodge in comfortable rooms with off-suite bathrooms and a communal dining area. Relax around the fireplace while you practice your English skills. Winter activities include horse back riding or cross-country skiing through snow-covered forests, hiking through the valley to look for animal tracks, or, for a special treat, take a snowmobile ride over a mountain top. Build a snow shelter, have a snowball fight. You can do both and play out an epic battle in the white powder. Every activity provides another opportunity to improve your conversation skills.
