Daniel Cepeda that offers a summer camp experience for inner city kids

taking them to an actual ranch.
00:21
Rancho. I know I could've used that when I was a
00:23
kid. Me too.
00:24
Well, I mean,
00:24
I did, my parents would go to the ranch all the
00:26
time. I'd be in the back of a pickup truck after
00:29
the airport. We'd go to the Rancho.
00:31
That was not enough kids.
00:33
experience that man,
00:34
they're always gonna die on the tablets like yo,
00:37
go, go play on a ranch,
00:38
go, go break your arm something play outside.
00:42
Kids don't play outside nowadays.
00:43
Do you ever see kids outside?
00:45
No, that, that's what I was saying.
00:46
I'm like by like the age of eight,
00:47
I had already broken like an arm.
00:49
I had like four stitches is like,
00:50
you know, me too,
00:51
slipping in, jumping around on shit.
00:54
Participants will not only learn about horsemanship but we also get an
00:58
introduction to ranching and the work that goes behind it.
01:01
Yeah. Well, we will focus more on ranching basics said
01:05
Gomez for kids, it's really nice to ride a horse,
01:09
but they also have to learn all the responsibilities it takes to
01:13
own and care for one.
01:14
I mean, this is what kids need.
01:15
I feel too. It's like they need to get dirty,
01:18
they need to see how it is to have responsibilities and be
01:22
outside for sure. Like you look too clean,
01:25
like go get dirty,
01:27
go get dirty. That's how it was for me.
01:28
I don't know if you come back all sweaty and stinky from
01:33
playing outside, from playing outside and,
01:36
and now I just feel like kids don't,
01:38
they don't socialize like,
01:40
in, with each other outside other than school and like Roblox
01:45
Yeah. So this is great.
01:47
This is great what they're doing.
