Our Wrangles are the amazing team of dedicated workers who are up early feeding, grooming, and tacking horses. The horses are the highlight of camp. On any given day a camper can tell you which horse she rode which summer of camp. The horses build camper confidence as they face fears and learn new skills. Our wranglers are the ones who make this experience a fun safe adventure.
