Coed
All Girls
Goldendale, Washington

Ekone Ranch offers a one-of-a-kind camp program on 1060 acres of canyonlands, forests and meadows near the Columbia Gorge. Our residential, co-ed camp program features small groups of no more than 20 children per session and a 6:1 camper/staff ratio or better. Horse camp sessions emphasize the special relationship between children and horses. Campers spend many hours each day with our wonderful horses, grooming, learning groundwork, practicing in the arena, and going on long trail rides through spectacular country. We ride bareback and western. When not with the horses, campers are engaged in a variety of art projects, nature explorations, swimming, ranch activities and chores.

Our garden-fresh, from-scratch food is a highlight of the camp experience (many a camper has learned to love their vegetables in the Yummy Tummy Cafe). Campers sleep in our A-frame longhouse, in tipis, under the stars, or in the hay barn where we listen to the horses breathe all night long.

We offer two special programs with less of an emphasis on horsemanship: Passage for Girls: A Coming-of-Age Journey in Nature, and Wilderness Week.

All of our sessions emphasize creating a supportive camp community, healthy peer relationships, and a positive work ethic. Campers have an unforgettable immersion experience in healthy lifestyles, good eating, and great friends. They learn that good work can be great fun, and they come back year after year for more!

Due to our small session size, we are happy to accommodate some children with special needs or dietary considerations--please contact us for more information.

Please visit our website at www.ekone.org or call 509-773-4536 for more information.

Day Camp
Coed
Port Orchard, Washington

The Whole Horse Place's Beginning Horsemanship program is a hands on, whole horse experience focused on safety. Participants start with safely approaching and haltering the horse, and proceed through all aspects of horsemanship, from controlling the horse on the ground to balance exercises while riding. Understanding horse behavior is fundamental in handling horses and is a large component of this program. Basic horse health, such as colic, thrush, and environmental factors are also covered. Equine Science and Horses in History are covered as well.

The Whole Horse Place is a unique horse experience for the average person with little or no horse exposure. Our approach to teaching horsemanship begins and ends with safety first. Teaching you to be in control of your horse at all times is our primary concern, and from that foundation all other aspects of horsemanship will be successful.

Six children maximum, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 9:30am- 3:30pm. (Times can be flexible based on parents' schedules). $150 a week. Price includes a trail permit for trail riding. Approximate age guidelines: 6 years to 17 years.

Bring a LARGE sack lunch, water bottle, and dress in layers for the weather. We will be riding and hiking, so tennis shoes are encouraged. Helmets and boots are provided if you do not have your own.

You will see what owning a horse is like, from stall cleaning, grooming, feeding, ground work and riding.
