Grandma and Grandpa began their first summer with three boys. Each year this number grew as the boys went home and told of their great time working on the ranch. I love my memories of growing up at camp. Taking part in cookouts overnights, riding horses in the hills and sun bathing by the pond. In the 1960\u2019s, my mother, Ginger, became a counselor and enjoyed sharing her love of this ranch. There, my mom met my father, Ron, when he was a counselor and the Head Wrangler. As tradition would have it, in 1974 Ron and Ginger took over the reins and followed in my grandparents\u2019 footsteps directing Cloverleaf Ranch. My brother Tye and I had a wonderful experience growing up in a ranch and camp environment. It significantly shaped the people we became.<\/p>\n

We were both campers and counselors for many years, and in 2007 I took over as Head Director of the Ranch. I\u2019ve been happy to keep the magic of a working Western ranch alive while keeping up with modern standards and preserving the land in a sustainable manner. My Grandma and Grandpa made a promise to parents to provide a safe, fun place to enjoy a vacation of a lifetime. We continue that commitment to this day and truly believe your children will have a summer they will never forget. \u2013 Shawna DeGrange.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”f25da6c9-c172-4ae9-83c4-6679880fd463″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” custom_padding=”20px||20px||true|false” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#dddddd” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_heading title=”Meet The Owners” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”Cooper Black||||||||” title_text_color=”#892501″ title_font_size=”35px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”7075e56f-496e-4751-9f20-4fcaf0a61ab8″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Shawna DeGrange<\/strong>\u00a0or known on the ranch as \u201cCharm,\u201d has been involved directly with the program since 1999.
