WESTERN RANCH DAY CAMP FOR CHILDREN

Do you have a kid that wishes they were born on a ranch??  The Copper Valley Trail Company has the perfect summer camp for them!  
Each day, they'll have their own horse to care for, ride and love.  They will learn all about horses and what it takes to care for them.  We will have fun experiences every day, including going on trail rides, fishing at the bass pond, riding on obstacle courses, learning about roping and junior rodeo events and even packing mules to go out on a fun picnic trail ride!

Day Camps Schedule:
Monday, August 1st thru Friday, Aug 5th
Day Schedule:  8:30AM thru 1:30PM
Cost :  $325 per camper

We're only taking 6 to 8 kids per camp so that each child gets plenty of individual riding time!  Book your spot before it fills up!
