Our Lady Queen of Peace Ranch
Camp for underprivileged children
Established in 1988 by the founder of Walton, Patrick Doherty and his wife Maureen, Our Lady Queen of Peace® (Southern Alberta) Ranch Ltd. (OLQP) is a non-for-profit organization located in southern Alberta, Canada, and designated to accommodate children aged 0 to 18 having physical, mental, financial and / or emotional challenges.
Horseback riding, wagon rides pulled by a tractor, hiking, fishing, canoe and barbecue lunches are some of many activities that make the experience unforgettable for these children and add moments of joy and happiness to their life!
Since its inception, the organization has expanded to accommodate about 25,000 children who can benefit from an educational experience and unique outdoor activities completely FREE! And so far, this adventure has touched the lives of more than 250,000 people.
The Ranch is governed by a small Board of Directors made up of volunteers, whose vision for the Ranch is the continual growth to further instill self-confidence, adaptability, self-acceptance and sense of belonging to the youth of tomorrow.
