Summer Camp time is just days away! Did you know that Los Alamos has been the home of Summer Camps since the Ranch School days? Besides being a boarding school, the Los Alamos Boys Ranch School offered summer camp each year. Boys spent the summer outside camping, hiking, horseback riding, and fishing. These photos show a glimpse of what Ranch School summer camps were like!

Looking for a summer camp for your child? The History Museum Summer History Adventures Camps for grades 3-6 still have spots available! Contact our educator today for information. Cost is just $20. [email protected]
