It's like having your own horse! Living at our Ranch facility, you will be responsible for the care, feeding, and grooming of your horse, at our brand new 36 stall barn, complete with tack house. Participate in arena lessons, games on horseback, pony cart driving, and trail rides around camp. Your schedule is flexible to allow for some main camp activities such as the water trampoline, swimming, and the Giant Swing. On Saturday morning, parents are invited to watch their campers demonstrate the skills they’ve learned. The Ranch program is for horse-loving teens of all skill levels.

Tailored for the younger horse lover, Wranglers spend two hours each day with their favorite horse; grooming, saddling, participating in arena lessons and going on trail rides. Emphasis will be on safety, fun, and learning about horses. The week culminates with a trail ride picnic with their horse. When not at the barn, Wranglers will spend the rest of the day participating in Traditional Camp fun. Wranglers is best suited for those with previous horseback riding experience.
