All these activities help your son start thinking about where they fit into life and what type of contribution they want to make on the world. The ranch allows your teen to start thinking about who they want to become and what they want to make of themselves. It helps them begin thinking about how they want to be remembered by you and the rest of their family and friends. In short, KW Legacy Ranch helps your child start thinking about building their own LEGACY.
