callarman ranch - a special place to visit!
Welcome to Callarman Ranch
In 2022 we purchased a horse ranch and filled it with horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, and more. We are very fortunate to live at such a wonderful place in DuPage County and we love to share it with our community through 4H and by inviting people and groups to visit.
Fun Things to Do for kids 8-15 yrs.
4-H
At Callarman Ranch, we have 15 members (Ages 8-18) that visit each month. Many of the youth members become volunteers throughout DuPage organizations. We teach board leadership, fundraising and community outreach while working hands-on with our precious animals and friends.
Summer Camp
This summer we will offer summer camps for children/youth 8-18. We utilize the ranch and the many community locations to learn, help and grow.
Horse Lessons
Horse lessons are offered at the ranch. We hope that families, who cannot afford lessons, would have a scholarship fund available to them.
