What We Do

At Guided Hope we use farm chores, livestock education, country fun, horse experiences, and the love of Jesus to mentor children, strengthen families, share hope, and inspire service.

We serve children, teens, adults, and families, whether they have experienced challenging circumstances or simply wish to strengthen their families through shared time and serving on the ranch. Guests who are touched by grief, military service, foster care, adoption, medical hardships, as well as anyone who wants to reconnect, grow, laugh, learn, and serve all benefit from our Roundup experience! We are a ranch filled with God’s amazing creation and the hope we have in Jesus. 

Our Programs

  • People feeding cattle through a metal fence at an outdoor farm area.

    Family Roundups

    Bring your whole family (all ages are welcome) for a time of learning, serving, and fun! Each Roundup will be 2 hours. Grow closer as a family during our Family Roundups which include farm chores, livestock education, horse safety/grooming, and fun with our critters. Family Roundups are generally limited to 1-2 families to allow for the best experience for all of our visiting ranch hands!

  • Two people having fun outdoors; one person is sitting in a wheelbarrow wearing a helmet, while another is pushing the wheelbarrow on a sandy surface. Trees and a fence are in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

    Jr Roundups

    Children and teens ages 7-17 are invited to join us for a fun and educational time in the country! No prerequisites—just a desire to participate. Each guest will be paired with a Wrangler Leader to help with chores, learn about livestock, and interact with horses. A parent or guardian must remain on-site.

    The first Roundup ("Session A") includes an animal tour, chores, and horse safety/grooming. The second Roundup ("Session B") offers a special opportunity to ride, and fun with our animal ambassadors. New and returning guests should sign up for both A & B weeks to ensure time for chores and safety review before riding. We serve up to four children per Jr Roundup.

  • Child holding a white rabbit and smiling inside a barn.

    Kids and Kritters Roundup

    Enjoy a fun and educational time geared towards the little ones in your family with our barnyard critters, playground, age-appropriate chores, and time for you to connect with other parents. While this is geared toward families with young children, all ages—including grandparents—are welcome! A parent/guardian must be with children at all times.

  • Men practicing roping skills outdoors on a farm near farming equipment and a barn.

    Special Group Roundups

    These Roundups are open to a variety of groups including those experiencing grief, military service, foster care, adoption, medical hardships, and many groups seeking time together to serve, strengthen bonds, and make special memories. If you have a group of 5-25 people interested in learning, working, and having fun in the country, contact us about coordinating a Group Roundup!
