Circle Square Ranch Grand River sits on grasslands and forest in Brant County, Ontario, 20 minutes from Hamilton.

Hundreds of church groups, schools, youth groups and more find a place to rest (or go wild) at the Ranch. With accommodation and meeting space options to suit groups of up to 200, a menu of popular items, and a variety of fun activities including horse riding and high ropes – we can help you organize a memorable retreat or school trip.

I wasn't sure a venue this close to the city could deliver the kind of outdoor experience our students needed. It exceeded every expectation. The staff handled every detail, the kids didn't want to leave, and I had the easiest debrief of any trip I've ever run.
