At Candlelight Ranch, healing happens in every corner — in the garden, through the rhythm of a drum, and in the colors of a child’s painting. For $250, you can plant seeds of creativity and confidence that will grow long after families leave the Ranch.

Imagine being a child who’s never left the city, never seen the stars, never felt the quiet of the woods. For $500, you can give that child their first adventure — their first hike, first cast, first zip line ride. The confidence and joy they feel in that moment will stay with them forever.

For $1,000, you’ll help care for our equine partners — Lindy, Astro, and Comet — who carry healing on their backs. When a child brushes their mane, fear turns to calm. When they take a step together, that’s trust being rebuilt. You’re helping children find strength, empathy, and courage through connection.

At $2,500, you’re helping every child feel ready to explore — from helmets and harnesses that keep them safe, to art and science supplies that let them express and discover. Your gift means no child ever must sit out an adventure because they didn’t have what they needed.

For $5,000, you can send a full classroom of students — many of whom have never been in nature — on an outdoor field trip to Candlelight Ranch. You’re helping children who often face barriers, experience inclusion, independence, and pride. When one child conquers our ropes course, their whole class cheers — and that’s the sound of courage being born.

For $10,000, you’re giving an entire season of hope weekends where veterans reconnect with their children, children in wheelchairs soar across our zip line, and families who’ve been through hardship find laughter again. You’re not just sponsoring a season — you’re creating memories that will carry these families for a lifetime.
