Griffin Valley Ranch 2 Day Camps

Looking for a shorter camp-we have you covered!!!!!!     ****Only $250 plus tax**** includes transportation

We offer a fun-filled, 2 day adventure on horseback for horse/pony enthusiasts from 8 years old to 16 years old.  (IN ORDER FOR YOUR CHILD TO BE IN THIS CAMP THEY MUST BE AT LEAST 8 YEARS OLD THE FIRST DAY THAT THEIR CAMP SESSION BEGINS. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS DUE TO INSURANCE REGULATIONS)

The participants are bused to and from Calgary and area every day. There are convenient pick-up and drop-off points in the city as well as at the Bearspaw Lifestyle Centre and at Cochrane High School. You may choose your own transportation, but please note registration fees will not be adjusted. ***ALL CHILDREN MUST BRING A LUNCH FROM HOME. PREPACKAGED SNACKS AND BEVERAGES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE (CANDY, CHIPS, POP, WATER)***

Each session focuses on safety, basic riding skills and the important aspects of caring for a horse/pony and its equipment.

Participants spend the majority of the day directly with the horses/ponies. Daily activities include a combination of arena exercises, games on horseback, riding drills, ground activities, gymkhana races and of course trail riding on our beautiful 4,500 acres.

If the weather is inclement all activities move inside into our indoor arena or our lecture hall where the children can tack, groom and do a bit of bareback riding etc. A highlight of working with a live animal is the bond that develops between horse/pony and rider. Participants have the opportunity to feed their horse/pony treats such as carrots or apples (provided from home).

Our goal is to provide a SAFE, FUN and EDUCATIONAL horse experience for children aged 8 to 16. We encourage your questions or concerns at any time.

In closing, we hope you take this opportunity to experience our Ranch and enjoy the beauty of the Alberta foothills.

Happy Trails!
