WRANGLER CAMP
WRANGLER (Horse) CAMP
1 Week , Coed, Aged 11-15
Wrangler Camp is a fully immersive horse program offering campers an introduction to the responsibilities and joys of horses with lots of riding time and hands-on experiences.
Wranglers are assigned a horse for the week based on their horse experiences and preferences. These campers spend part of their time learning how to groom, saddle, bridle the horses, and get to experience all of the aspects of horse ownership and care. They ride through forest trails and fields, and get to practice their skills in a closed arena. The program is progressive in design. Campers work on mounted levels such as the trot and canter, and unmounted levels including horse health and behavior
​
Wranglers have some time to explore regular camp activities like archery, Alpine Tower, pottery, fishing, Free Swim, and Canteen. They also enjoy evening program with the rest of camp.
​
If the weather is not cooperative, adjustments are made to the Wrangler schedule to accommodate riding time.
