Paca Peace Ranch is a non-profit organization serving the area around Westcliffe and Cotopaxi, Colorado. Youth of about 10 years of age stay at the ranch for one weekend per month, and are in charge of ranch operations during that time. These two separate groups of five girls and five boys learn to care for and train their personal alpacas. They also plan and do chores, cooking, and activities. Paca Peace also offers Alpaca Training Day Programs with one–on-one mentors.

Youth can build trusting relationships with their animals and other people at Paca Peace Ranch. They can gain confidence, and learn peaceful and healthy lifestyles through this one-year program.

No fees are charged, as the ranch is funded by donations and grants.

Paca Peace Ranch practices non-discrimination in the selection of youth (race, creed, color, socio-economic status, gender, handicap).
