Grades 8-12: Saddle up and learn about the joys of traveling by horse!
Traveling by horseback can be traced back to the mid-18th century. Girl Scouts will learn about the history of horsepacking and have a chance to try it out themselves! When Girl Scouts arrive, they will groom and saddle their horse, pack their gear and food, and then they will head out for an evening in a tent, under the stars on Camp Elk River property. Learn how to apply Leave No Trace principles when traveling by horseback; wake up early and care for your horse friends on the trail before heading back to main camp!
Some horseback riding experience is necessary.
*For the safety of the horses, there is a 225-pound carrying limit which should be considered when registering for horse programs. Contact us directly with any specific questions or concerns.
