Ranch Camp at Camp Kitaki

Set in a charming Western Town replica, Ranch Camp provides an immersive equestrian program where campers spend mornings and afternoons engaged with horses and traditional camp activities. Each camper is paired with a personal horse, promoting a deep sense of responsibility and connection. The camp’s routine splits time between riding lessons focusing on Western riding fundamentals, trail riding, and barn duties such as grooming and stable maintenance. Complementary activities like archery and crafts enrich the camper experience. Skilled wranglers lead lessons incorporating fun and educational games to improve riding technique and horse handling. The camp’s structured progression allows campers to advance based on ability, and advanced campers can participate in more challenging pursuits such as jumping and bareback riding. Safety is a priority, with mandatory appropriate footwear and close supervision. Living arrangements in the Wolfe Canyon area create a genuine western community vibe. Overall, the camp emphasizes personal growth, teamwork, and a lasting appreciation for horses within an engaging and safe environment.
