Ranch Visits
A Ranch Visit at Rosebud Llamas Utah is a specially designed outing, tailored to meet the needs and desires of the visiting group. The idea originated in 1998 in discussions with Active Re-Entry, an independent living center for people with disabilities in Price and Vernal, about their Summer Recreation Program. The hope was to give Active Re-Entry consumers a unique experience involving enjoying the outdoors in our canyon environment while learning about and spending time with llamas. We put together an activity of about four hours that included a basic information about llamas--their origins, uses, temperment, etc.--a nutritious lunch at our picnic tables. Everyone's favorites are time spent feeding treats to the llamas and taking them for short walks.
Since then, we have welcomed various groups--from families to groups of 30--for three- to four-hour interactive, educational experiences with our llamas. For example, besides consumers from Active Re-Entry, the llamas have welcomed the staff and volunteers of the Governors Council for People with Disabilities, a group of survivors of a World War II German concentration camp, groups from four to 20 fulfilling school course requirements from a Salt Lake Montessori School (one of four days and a specially designed curriculum focused on llamas and the environment), and 17 children and their 10 adult companions from the Community Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Taylorsville. We also have an overnight camp-out option for groups of up to 10 and the onsite Rosebud Guest House can sleep up to 12 for multi-day activities.
