St. Jude's Ranch for Children

St. Jude's Ranch for Children runs a summer day camp at 100 St Jude's St in Boulder City for kids ages 5 to 14. As the name indicates, the camp operates during the summer only, not year-round.

Listed hours run Wednesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with the camp closed Monday and Tuesday, so families should plan around that specific weekly schedule rather than assuming a standard weekday camp week. Activities include recreational activities, educational enrichment, and life skills training alongside the general day camp structure.

The property includes outdoor play areas, classrooms, green spaces, and what the listing describes as a therapeutic environment, reflecting St. Jude's Ranch's broader mission around supporting children. The camp is marked special needs friendly, with accommodations listed for emotional and behavioral support, inclusive programs, and special education support, which sets it apart from a standard recreation-only summer camp.

No pricing is listed on this record, so families should call (702) 294-7100 to ask about camp fees, registration windows, and whether enrollment is open to the general public or tied to St. Jude's Ranch's other programs. Given the therapeutic and special-education framing, it is worth asking directly during that call how the camp structures its groups and staffing.

Boulder City families or those willing to travel from Las Vegas should confirm the Wednesday-through-Sunday hours before planning a summer schedule, since this differs from the typical Monday-through-Friday day camp format many families expect from a summer program.

Because the camp is affiliated with a residential child welfare organization, families outside that system should specifically confirm during the call to (702) 294-7100 whether the summer day camp accepts general community enrollment or is limited to children already connected with St. Jude's Ranch programs, since the listing does not clarify this distinction. Confirming capacity and any application deadlines ahead of summer is also worth doing given the shorter Wednesday-through-Sunday week.
