A Place Where Kids Learn Through Connection—with Animals, Nature, and Themselves. At Buckeye Ridge Rescue & Retreat, our after-school program goes beyond homework help or screen time.

We offer an immersive, nature-based experience designed to inspire curiosity, responsibility, and emotional growth—by pairing children with rescued animals, creative projects, and real farm life.

Whether your child needs extra support, a safe place to unwind, or an opportunity to build confidence and compassion, we’ve created a program that welcomes every kind of learner—especially those who thrive outside the box.
