About Torino Ranch

Torino Ranch – home of the Brett Torino Foundation – is a sprawling sanctuary of nature that rests inside the pristine and untouched land of Lovell Canyon. Designed by Brett Torino himself as a tribute to his love of the natural world, Torino Ranch features two lakes, hundreds of trees, a garden greenhouse, an outdoor amphitheater, an outdoor pool, dozens of cabins, and an ornately designed lodge with a commercial kitchen. It is the result of decades of planning, construction and community partnership.

History of Torino Ranch

Torino Ranch sits on land that has a diverse and fascinating history dating back to the original inhabitants, who were Paiute Indians.

The vision of the Brett Torino Foundation, in addition to sharing the magic of nature, is first and foremost to preserve it.

Summer Camp Programs

Every summer since 1994, Torino Ranch has opened its door to a multitude of children and adults in need. The laughter of children who are critically ill and physically or developmentally challenged fills the Ranch with immeasurable joy.

Buddhist Monks

Buddhist Monks

Every summer Torino Ranch hosts approximately a dozen Buddhist monks for a period of two to three weeks during a portion of the summer program. Their visit is a part of a cross-country trek by the monks to spread joy and zen to the staff, children, counselors and volunteers who tirelessly facilitate the camp experience.

At the heart of the Brett Torino Foundation lies the commitment to conserve precious lands like Lovell Canyon, nestled in the Spring Valley Mountain range just West of Las Vegas, NV. Through initiatives like the "Save Lovell Canyon" project launched in 2017, the canyon has become a haven for campers, hikers, bicyclists, and nature enthusiasts.
 
This April, we're extending the celebration of Earth Day throughout the month, and we want YOU to join us! 🎉 Let's show our planet some love by sharing ways we can make a difference and reduce our carbon footprint. 🌱
