New to Las Cruces or simply craving real connections in a city you already love? This is the evening you won’t want to miss.

We start with a quick personality quiz that matches you with five like-minded locals. Together you’ll share a relaxed dinner at a hidden-gem restaurant—revealed only the morning of—where great food meets easy, genuine conversation. No awkward small talk, just stories, laughter, and the spark of new friendships.

After dinner, everyone comes together at one gathering spot. This is where the evening really shines—you’ll get the chance to meet even more new friends, swap stories, share laughs, and build the kind of genuine connections that make Las Cruces feel like home.

It’s warm, pressure-free community building—the kind that makes newcomers feel instantly at home and longtime residents feel even more connected.

Next Dinner Club: Thursday, May 14th at 6:00 pm

New Mexico State University’s Youth Ranch Management Camp is a week-long, college-level, hands-on experience for youth ages 15–19, held June 21–26, 2026 at the historic CS Ranch near Cimarron.

It’s a chance for teens to learn the real-world “why” behind ranching—everything from financials and marketing to land, wildlife, and beef production—and to explore future paths in agriculture and ranch management.

A total of 30 participants will be invited to this year's camp with three of those openings reserved for out-of-state youth, ages 15-19. Learn more
