Trips and Excursions

While at Reality Ranch, your Recruit will experience a variety of different excursions away from base camp. These excursions offer a nice change of scenery and a great experience. These excursions are included in your tuition price at no additional cost. Click on the photos on the right to learn more about our camp trips and excursions.
 
 
It’s always an early morning for our recruits when we visit the Grand Canyon. Lunch is usually eaten on the bus, and we visit the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. We don’t hike down into the canyon, instead, we enjoy a scenic view from the top of the rim. Be sure to watch for a post card from your Recruit after this excursion.

Dining out at a restaurant is a great incentive for our Recruits to do their personal best while at camp. It’s a welcome change from daily camp chow, and a great opportunity for us to see how those table manners are coming along….

Going to the pool is always a great way to cool off on a hot summer day. Going to the Safford City Pool is always a blast. This pool is huge, and even has an awesome water slide that rivals most water parks! This is one of our favorite trips.

Located just off of base camp, our Challenge Course is always a big hit with our Recruits. Our net climb, tire run and other physical challenges will enable Recruits to challenge themselves and prove that they can do anything they set their mind to. This is a great motivator, and works wonders for boosting self esteem.
 
 
Our recruits participate in a real, military style bivouacking experience overnight, underneath the stars. During this excursion, our Recruits will learn about implementing survival skills and about how to utilize their environmental resources. The Arizona desert night sky is always filled with bright, twinkling stars- a sight to be seen.

It takes a lot more than muscle to be able to conquer the various challenges presented in our exclusive Leader Reaction Course. Quick thinking, creativity and determination will help Recruits make it to the finish line as they navigate their way through various obstacles and challenges using only camp authorized equipment and teamwork.

Recruits will learn about map reading and proper use of a compass. They will be tested on these skills during our Land Navigation Excursion, where they will have the opportunity to show off what they know, or learn and practice land navigation a little bit more.
 
 
We spend a lot of time at camp preparing for the ascent up this 12,635 foot mountain, located in Flagstaff. Reaching the saddle of this non-technical switchback style climb is always a rewarding accomplishment for everyone; we stay together as a group to accomplish this challenging mission.
