Session Description
A week away from your busy life spent with the Phantom Ranch horses, what could be better! You'll be assigned a horse for the week to groom, learn about and learn from. Mornings are at the Hitching Post. Afternoons are a mix of camp activities like the Waterfront and bonus horsemanship lessons. The evenings are filled with preparation for the closing ceremony drill team and excursions to other horse facilities and events.
There are interactive chapel sessions and cabin discussions based on a teaching theme from the Bible. All teaching is designed to be applicable for Triple W girls from all walks of life and set them up for success as genuine ladies.
All Phantom Ranch staff are screened then trained in our child protection policies.
