June 14, 2005 - 108 Mile Ranch, BC...The Hills Health Ranch has launched a new & innovative Ranch & Fitness Program aimed at children, ensuring the unique Canadian ranch-resort to be a great vacation destination for families. The unique children’s program integrates fun filled ranch activities that includes time with the horses and ranch animals, and Kid-Fit Games.

“With rising obesity problems amongst young people today, the purpose of the new program is to provide families with a quality vacation option that includes helping their children to be very active during their family vacations,” said ranch President Patrick Corbett. “Many children today have become couch potatoes as a result of sitting in front of computers, watching tv, watching and playing video games, and parents are looking for help in getting their children active again, so our fitness team have come up with an entire Kids-Fit menu of games, that is integrated into summer ranch fun,” added Kinesiologist & Fitness Director Claire Fast.

The program is designed so that parents can enjoy the hiking, riding, golfing, spa-ing, & daily fitness programs offered at the ranch, while children are participating at the Kids Kamp.

The Hills Health Ranch was Canada's first destination spa & fitness resort created & integrated at the Cariboo guest ranch, in 1985. The ranch features approximately 30 horses offering an array of riding, riding lessons, & horse learning activities, plus family chalet style accommodations with up to 3 bedrooms available, 20,000 acres of play area including lakes with canoing, 150 KM of hiking trails, 3 evening lounges including a special family lounge, 2 dining rooms, 3 fitness workout areas, 18 spa treatment & consultation rooms, & more!

The ranch is celebrating its 20th Anniversary with a chalet sale, with a limited number of highly discounted rates for the chalets, through the July & August 2005.
