Dreamcatcher™ provides therapeutic recreation field trips to the Ranch for school aged children, seniors, group home youth, at risk youth, inner-city people, and so many more! These visits give an opportunity to teach participants about humane-education through engagement with animals and nature, while renewing a sense of purpose and hope among older participants, and instilling wonder and compassion in younger generations.

Dreamcatcher™’s dedicated team of qualified group leaders and animal handlers are accompanied by several species of farm animals who have been specially screened, trained, and certified. These animals are the key aspect of our animal and nature assisted programs and provide a unique and highly engaging medium for reaching and engaging members of our communities.​
