Universal Academy has partnered with ELTS Foundation and CJ’s Legacy to provide your child with an unforgettable Spring Break experience. Over the past six months, our students have worked hard and earned the opportunity to relax, recharge, and have fun. What better place to do that than at CJ’s Legacy Ranch in Argyle? This beautiful 98.8-acre horse ranch offers the perfect outdoor classroom where children can learn, explore, and enjoy hands-on experiences in nature.

Students will be transported by bus from the Universal Academy campuses in Irving and Coppell, departing at 6:45 AM.

Upon arrival, students will enjoy breakfast based on their individually selected menu choices. After breakfast, they will be grouped by age and introduced to the exciting world of ranch life.

Each child will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of engaging activities, including farming, horseback riding, fishing, and outdoor games. Students will also observe horses being trained and shod while gaining insight into equine performance and care. Throughout the day, children will experience the benefits of “unplugging” from technology and enjoying eight hours of enriching, hands-on outdoor activities.

Lunch and an afternoon snack will be provided before students board the bus for the return trip to campus. The bus will depart the ranch at 5:30 PM and arrive at campus by 6:00 PM. Parents are required to meet the bus promptly. Please note that late pickups may result in removal from the program, and all fees are non-refundable.

We invite you to join us for this exciting and enriching week!
