Grandparents with Grandchildren: New Trend for Dude Ranches
Antonito, CO (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- Colorado dude ranch Rainbow Trout Ranch states that there has been a significant increase in the number of grandparents coming to the ranch with their grandchildren.
Owner Doug Van Berkum notes that "We are in our tenth week of the 2013 season, and we've had several cabins each week taken by grandparents with grandchildren. It is wonderful to see."
Van Berkum says that although they have always had grandparents coming with their extended families, grandparents coming exclusively with their grandchildren was relatively rare. But now it is common to see grandparents enjoying their grandchildren at the ranch. According to recent guest and grandparent John Hoell, "It is a great way to spend time with your grand-kids without anyone having to cook, clean or organize. They have a fantastic time, and it gives their parents a break too!"
Guest Scott Stover has been coming to the southern Colorado dude ranch for over ten years with his wife Karen. This summer, they brought their grandson Dylan with them. Stover says of the experience: "We spent the week at the ranch with our eight year old grandson. It was a different experience than our previous years, but very rewarding for all of us. Dylan wanted to participate in everything the Cowpoke Program did. It was really fun to watch him as the week went on, making new friends, learning new things, and progressing as a horseback rider. He has not stopped talking about his experience. We are looking forward to bringing the next grandson when he is old enough."
