During this time your child will have two separate sessions with our therapists and an activity out at the camp. There will be plenty of time for nature walks in between! We also offer parents opportunities for personal growth through self-guided therapy while their children are in sessions at 9Ranch. Parents and children alike are invited to unplug from devices and enjoy nature during their time at 9Ranch.

Sand Tray Therapy
Sand Tray Therapy is a powerful tool to help children resolve cognitive and emotional issues. This technique utilizes a tray of sand, along with small tools and figurines, allowing children to communicate and process emotions and experiences without the need for words. Sand tray therapy is particularly effective in supporting children coping with trauma, anxiety, and emotional challenges, providing a safe and creative outlet for self-expression. Discover how sand tray therapy can empower your child to navigate and heal from within.
