Description

The Bar U Ranch offers curriculum-based school programming for K-9 students focusing on ranching history delivered in 35 minute segments by heritage interpreters. Programs are comprised of hands on activities, demontrations, interactive talks, sensory experiences and environmental hikes. Knowledgeable heritage interpreters demonstrate real ranch tasks, including leatherwork, blacksmithing, roping and livestock handling, while sharing the stories of the people, the history and the ranching industry.

Whether exploring the ranch by horse-drawn wagon, visiting roundup camp, touring the blacksmith shop and cookhouse, or hiking designated trails, students discover a unique part of their Canadian heritage while learning about an important rangeland environment.
