Welcome to
Spirit Ranch

A Christ-centered forest and farm based nature school in Columbia, TN where we offer homeschool and after-school programs, unforgettable events, host your own events, and a place where families can gather, grow, and experience God’s creation together.  

Maverick and Duke are glad you are here and so are we. We are located between Spring Hill and Columbia, Tennessee.  Our program caters to children ages 3-17 and is ideal for homeschool families looking for enriching their education experience and adding more socializing to their child's life.  From the basics of farm management and working with animals to building forts and learning about nature, survival, art, enjoying time with the animals, as well as sharpening skills on team work, and practice reading and writing, your children will have a wonderful time at Spirit Ranch.  

School Starts August 25th

Mondays and Wednesdays

Ages 10-17

Your child can bring their homeschool work and homework for private tutoring as well as enjoying the program set for the day.  We will have time to sit down and work through different subjects they may need extra support in.  Each class day will have a Bible story and lesson taught from the teachings of Jesus Christ and biblical principles. 

Leadership Mondays
Ages 10-17

Mondays are dedicated to help children step into roles of leadership based on biblical teaching.

​

They will learn to lead groups in different exercises and activities, conflict management and communication, and work on building relationships, trust, and teamwork.​

​

Of course there will be plenty of time to hang with the bunnies and farm animals too!

​

Does building a treehouse or bunkers sound fun? Anything is possible at Spirit Ranch when we work together.

Tuesdays and Thursdays

Ages 3 -10

Your child must be confidently potty trained prior to attending.  Each class day will have a Bible story and lesson taught from the teachings of Jesus Christ and biblical principles. 

Exploration Tuesdays

Exploration Tuesdays is all about exploring new things around the farm.  From crafts, mud kitchens, watercoloring, fort building, and plenty of free play, your kiddos will enjoy a mix of adventure and imagination with new friends with lots of fun lessons with a nature-based theme. 

​

Try archery for the first time, enjoy the zipline, or simply imagine you're a dinosaur hunter.  Your kiddos will have structure and freedom at Spirit Ranch.

Farm Day Thursdays
Ages 3-10

Spend time feeding and caring for the bunnies and farm animals.  Freshen up their water and help tidy up where they live.

​

Collect eggs, feed and brush the horses, and enjoy learning about what it takes to have a simple farm.

What to Expect

​​

Classes run from 9:00 AM–2:30 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, and 9:00 AM–2:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

 

This is where wide-eyed wonder meets God’s truth. Where kids climb higher, laugh louder, and dream bigger—while learning to care for His creation and walk confidently in who He’s called them to be. At Spirit Ranch, adventures aren’t just about fun; they’re about shaping character, building faith, and discovering the joy of living life fully alive in Christ.

 

From caring for animals to conquering new challenges, from deepening friendships to learning about Jesus under the open sky, every day overflows with moments they’ll never forget.  They will want to invite you back on Family Fun Days to share all the excitement with you.
