Trail Riding
Each camper will have the opportunity to go on a trail ride while they are at camp. The BR has many different trails you can experience. We have farm trails, open fields and of course a deep dark forest!
Camp Fires & Cookouts
We open and close each session with a camp-wide campfire ceremony. Younger campers will have S’mores around the fire and older campers will have the choice of a cabin sleep-outs. In the 2 week sessions, the campers who are eligible to be staff the following year (16 by June 1st) celebrate their final year as campers by going on their own trail ride sleep-out adventure with their staff. They spend one-night camping and have two meals over the campfire where they set up camp, care for their horses, and spend the night under the stars.
