Parent & Guardian Resources

We hope you find everything you need to prepare for a successful experience at Wildwood Hills Ranch. Having questions is normal and we know that having your student away from home for a week can come with some anxiety and worry. We want to reassure you that Wildwood Hills Ranch prioritizes safety, as it is one of our core values.

Your child’s safety is of the highest priority at Wildwood Hills Ranch, which is why we’ve implemented a comprehensive Child Protection Plan. An important element of our Child Protection Plan is a strictly enforced policy called Double Coverage. There must always be a 2:1 staff member to child ratio - no exceptions. As you know, Wildwood Hills Ranch is not a typical ranch - we specialize in collaborating with community partners all over the state of Iowa to identify at-risk children who might benefit from our programming. Parents and guardians work directly with their community partner or school to register their student and obtain all the important information needed to complete their registration. 

We've outlined some questions you may have below.  If you have additional questions, please contact your community partner.
