We provide both daytime and overnight respite services for families seeking support. Our programs are designed with a family-centric approach to assist children within the family environment. Family Managed Services (FMS) agreements are required.
Our assistance for you and your child is unlike anything you're accustomed to. With our programs, you can anticipate that family time will once again truly be family time.
Our seasonal camps offer a unique blend of fun and learning tailored to each time of year. Whether it’s the vibrant adventures of fall, the cozy rides of winter, the sunny excitement of summer, or the refreshing start of spring, each camp is designed to immerse children in the season’s spirit while developing their skills and creating lasting memories. Join us for a season of adventure, exploration, and equestrian enjoyment!
Our overnight respite services offer families a much-needed break, providing a distinctive experience unavailable elsewhere. Children can acquire socialization skills, forge positive relationships, and learn effective self-regulation techniques amidst the companionship of farm animals. Our certified staff specialize in assisting children with neurological disorders and behavioral challenges. The program caters to children aged 8 to 17 years.
Because your nervous system matters, too.
While your neurodivergent child or teen is thriving at Count Thunder Valley Ranch’s Summer Camp, you get to exhale.
Our 1-hour Rejuvenation Sessions are here to help you reset, recharge, and reconnect to yourself.
💛 Quiet space, coffee or tea, and soft farm surroundings
💛 Optional equine walks and nervous system-friendly tools
💛 Zero pressure, zero judgment, just care
“While they’re learning to thrive, you’re allowed to exhale.”
