☀️ Thank You for an Incredible Summer at Cheyne Ranch! 🐴💛
Our 6th summer is coming to a close!
🌿 8 Fridays of Nature Club (with 1 more still to go!)
🎨 4 weeks of Summer Camp — 2 in June, 2 in July
🐎 Over 60 students participated in PALS and Horseback Riding Lessons
📅 Cheyne Ranch facilitated more than 1,100 appointments this summer! 🎉
👩🌾 Countless moments of connection, growth, animal care, play, and lots of Florida sunshine!
We’re so grateful to every family who spent part of their summer with us — there were exactly 100 families who participated in our summer programs. We had over 1,100 appointments here and it was all possible because of our 💙 amazing workers & 💛 volunteers. You helped create a place where kids found purpose, built confidence, and experienced the joy of belonging through connection with animals, nature, and each other.
