Saddle Up! The event of the year is back! On Friday, April 24, 2026, grab your hat and boots and head west to Camp Aldersgate Ranch for BIG SKY AFTER DARK. Celebrate the American Frontier under the stars with luxury ranch fare, cold brews, and country tunes. Expect surprise experiences that bring out the wrangler in everyone!

A century ago, adventure-seeking “dudes” headed west for a taste of cowboy life. Today, Camp Aldersgate offers that same spirit of adventure for individuals with special needs—fishing, ziplining, and sharing stories by the campfire. Each summer, our campers escape the everyday to make unforgettable memories under the BIG SKY in Little Rock.
