At Iron Horse Country Ranch Motocross Summer Camp, we provide a good, old-fashioned, real summer camp experience for kids. Our campers learn how to ride off-road motorcycles – known more commonly as “dirt bikes” – in part as a way to teach them an exciting skill they will keep for life, but mostly as a way to get them into the great outdoors doing something active and fun with other kids.
Welcome to our world of riding with kids for the past 17 years at the Ranch. We are Eric and Annelise Turner, owners and Director of Iron Horse Country Ranch.
What started as a way to get our children outside playing, led us later in life to open a Motocross Summer Camp
Our life experiences, passions and backgrounds led us to the concept of this camp and to its opening in 2008. In search of safety for the sport, Eric became a Motorcycle Safety Foundation Instructor (MSF), a totally different world than his computer geek life. Annelise holds a Masters Degree in Social Work, Child & Family Specialty. They both had good businesses, left it all for the ranch and could not be happier even with all the work involved. They are the proud parents of two now grown daughters who were the original “Junior Counselors”. To this day, they both talk about how participating in summer camp life at Iron Horse has helped them in their adult lives with self-confidence, social skills and a strong work ethic.
