Spring Ranch Adventure Camps

Recommended age 4 to 8 years old. Full Days

March 26 – 28 (Tues/Wed/Thurs)
April 2 – 4 (Tues/Wed/Thurs)

This is a longer version of our typical Ranch Adventure program, however, parents get to ‘drop & go’ and each child gets their own pony wrangler instead!  Every morning our ranch kids will help us do morning chores such as cuddle baby animals, feed all of the creatures, grain bulls and round-up ponies.  Each day, kids will spend at least 3 hours with their wrangler and their very own pony.  Wranglers will help each child catch, halter and groom out, while aiding the instructor in teaching the kids how to tack up and mount up on their own, balance and ride out!

Wranglers will keep their kids on a lead-line as we leave the main ranch on different adventures each day.  Individually, as kids gain their confidence, the instructor and wranglers will help them learn how to use reins and ride on their own!  If a child is content to stay on a lead line that is just fine too!

Once mounted, kids spend at least two hours a day in the saddle out on the trail. The remainder of the day will incorporate ranch inspired agricultural/educational activities (age appropriate), hot chocolate and baby animal cuddles.

Full Day Cost $399 + GST

What Kids Need to Bring:

  • Their own water bottle that they can tie to a saddle.
  • A lunch with a few extra snacks.
  • Depending on the forecast, kids should bring snow pants to keep legs warm in the saddle or long underwear under jeans.
  • Wear boots with a heal with warm socks.
  • A Helmet and warm gloves.
  • Any personal medication that may be required.

 

Note: The ranch bunkhouse has juice boxes, water and pop, as well as pre-packaged granola bars and chips on site at minimal cost if kids get hungry.
