Camp Widjiwagan — Ranch Camp

Begin your journey to an unforgettable ranch experience with an escape to Camp Widjiwagan. This idyllic setting invites young cowhands, aged 6-16, to dive into the enthralling world of horse riding and care. This camp has a unique focus, forging the bond between horses and young riders. Campers are assigned their own horse for the week, building a rapport rooted in mutual trust and respect. Interacting with such noble creatures presents campers with an invaluable opportunity to speak a new language - understanding the subtle cues in a horse's behavior. At the Widji Ranch, it's not all about honing horse riding skills; the camp also emphasizes personal growth.

Youngsters are encouraged to take charge of their horse's feeding, stall mucking, and maintenance, instilling a sense of responsibility. Fun and learning collude at the camp, with swimming and traditional camp activities sitting comfortably beside immersive horse lessons. On the ground, youngsters learn grooming, tacking, and leading a horse, while rides aim to match each rider with an equine buddy suiting their level of experience. While the day camp is a real crowd-pleaser, the thrill amplifies as the sun sets. Sunrise and sunset trail rides, evening chores, and herding horses in and out of pastures are privileges exclusive to overnight campers. Specialty Ranch Camps inject an element of surprise, offering unique variations, such as riding an inflatable bull, all-girls sessions with confidence-building activities, and advanced ranch experiences, setting Camp Widjiwagan a cut above the rest! Come delve into the equestrian world– a journey full of discovery and growth awaits you at Camp Widjiwagan!
