What is EmpoweRanch Day Camp all about?
EmpoweRanch campers will enjoy hands-on growth and enrichment with horses, farm animals, outdoor recreation, games, dance, singing, gardening, arts and crafts, and safe, responsible outdoor skills and ethics. Each day, campers will learn about horsemanship including equine behavior, communication, safety, grooming, horse handling/leading, horse and equipment care, and, of course, at least one morning of HORSEBACK RIDING!
We specialize in fostering personal growth and learning through welcoming, fun, guided interactions with campers and our ranch animals. The fun doesn’t stop there. We’ll paint, create, play, and explore while learning about the wonderful natural world around us and how we can be safe, responsible, and have FUN in the great outdoors!
We value safety, inclusion, responsibility, respect, compassion, horsemanship, sportsmanship, & FUN with a strengths-based approach to build confidence, competence, & character.

Campers must be fully independent using the restroom, practicing personal hygiene, and demonstrating the ability and willingness to follow instructions without physical intervention to keep self and others safe.
