Shoshone Creek Ranch Camp Program

From campers who have never ridden a horse, to those who ride every day, all skills levels are welcome. Ranch Camp is located at our western guest ranch in a gorgeous, riverside mountain setting at Shoshone Mountain Retreat! Spend your days developing your horse skills in the arena and on the trails at Shoshone Creek Ranch. Daily horse time, plus popular camp activities like splashing in the swimmin’ hole, the 40-foot natural climbing wall, tubing the river, crafts, campfire cooking, worship & Bible study. Complete the week with a Hootenanny! Ranch camp is operated under an Outfitter & Guides Permit from the Idaho Panhandle National Forests.

The program includes care and knowledge of horses and tack with a focus on safety, grooming, horse & ranch chores, saddling, leading, mounting and daily riding.

Ranch camp takes a maximum of 16 campers per week, so register with your friends early!
