Accommodation
At Mountain Meadow Ranch, accommodations are comfortable and feature a rustic-chic style. Cabins are assigned by age, grade and gender, and each houses about 8-16 campers with 2-4 counselors. The cabins feature wall-to-wall carpeting, electricity, and their own bathroom and shower facilities. Some have a front deck that overlooks the central meadow — a great informal meeting space. The camp’s housing policy supports both comfort and community living, encouraging campers to keep their cabin space tidy (with fun incentives like “cleanest cabin” rewards). Laundry is done once per session by support staff, giving campers the feel of a true camp home away from home.
Meals
Meals at Mountain Meadow Ranch are wholesome, varied and designed to accommodate a range of dietary needs. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served each day, with generous snack times in between. The menu features familiar favorites like grilled cheese, spaghetti and tacos, alongside fresh fruit, oatmeal, and salad-bar options. The camp is happy to support gluten-free, plant-based and allergy-sensitive diets. Mealtime is also a community event—families-style service and discussion around the tables help campers connect. Nutrition, flavor and social connection all play a role in the dining experience.
Safety
Mountain Meadow Ranch places safety at the heart of its outdoor program. With a limit of about 120 campers per session and a strong tradition of experienced leadership, the camp ensures manageable group sizes and meaningful supervision. Staff are trained to support campers emotionally and physically—handling homesickness, overseeing cabins, ensuring equipment safety and supervising outdoor challenges. The tech-free policy supports focus and presence. Parents should still inquire directly about staff-to-camper ratios, emergency procedures, and how the camp responds to weather or wilderness conditions.
Camp traditions
Camp traditions at Mountain Meadow Ranch emphasize community, reflection and fun. Each day ends around the central campfire — an opportunity to gather, share stories, reflect, and recognize achievements. Cabin groups participate in “cabin clean-up” routines with rewards (such as ice-cream parties), which promote stewardship and friendly competition. The unplugged setting encourages campers to slow down, engage with nature, and create memories in the “in-between” moments— whether that’s a quiet walk after dinner or sitting under the stars. These traditions help build the sense of “camp family”.
