Brownie - Ambassador Troops: Experience ranch life with L&L Ranch on this troop focused, 5 days and 4 nights adventure! Campers will learn horsemanship skills from knowledgeable Wranglers, where Girl Scouts will ride horses twice a day, with one ride on arrival day, and discover what it is like living on a ranch-from milking cows to learning how to care for a horse. Campers will also get to engage in all the other joys of camp-s'mores, songs, activities, and more. Girls will ride at a variety of levels to build different skills, with some opportunities to try loping for those who are ready. Fees include lodging, meals, archery, fishing in our own private pond, equipment, a fun patch, and trained instructors.
Adult supervision from registered members is required. There is an additional fee for adults to ride horses (groups limited to one adult per ride). Additional fee of $40 per ride is paid on site to the program partner.
