| Ranch camp is an exciting week for riders of all abilities. Whether you’re just starting out, or you’ve been riding for years, Circle K Ranch will teach you new, fun things about horses. Ranch campers spend most of the day at the barn and with the horses. Each day, campers will take horseback riding lessons, go for trail rides, groom, tack, and take care of their own horse. Other horse lessons may include topics such as horse first aid, bathing, lunging, barn management and more! When campers leave the barn, they experience all of the other highlights of camp, including; canoeing, climbing, swimming, archery, arts & crafts, campfires, big games, and so much more! |
