lodging

At Battle Creek & Hidden Hollow, lodging consists primarily of log cabins with twin or full beds. Most cabins are shared with one or two roommates and an ensuite bathroom. We assign roommates after getting to know you through your application, and have a great track record of sending you home with a new friend of life! At Wide Sky, you’ll be glamping in individual canvas teepee-style tents and fall asleep to the sound of elk bugling in the distance.

Physical requirements

The riding that we do at Cowgirl Camp is not your average nose-to-tail trail ride. As such, for everyone’s safety, we require that attendees have the balance and strength to mount their horse from a mounting block without further assistance. This will involve swinging a leg up and over the saddle, and landing with control. The movement is akin to being able to get on and off a bicycle unassisted. We need you to be able to do this from both sides. 

Due to our smaller framed quarter horses, we also have a weight limit of 240 lbs per rider. (We know this is a bummer.) Horses should not carry more than 20% of their body weights including tack. Thank you for understanding! These physical requirements are for you and the horse’s safety.

food

All meals will be prepared for you by our caterers and served buffet style featuring primarily local protein and plenty of seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Sample breakfast:

Scrambled eggs, bacon, yogurt, berries,
granola, pastry, orange juice, coffee + tea

Sample lunch

Caesar salad with Little Creek lamb tzatziki burgers,
chips + fruit

Sample dinner

Little Creek steaks on the grill topped with chimichurri,
kale salad, potatoes au gratin, asparagus, and apple pie

We do our best to accommodate dietary allergies (gluten free, dairy free), and provide plenty of variety. But we cannot accommodate everything. Please check in with us about special dietary needs. (And please leave preferences or aversions at home!)

drink

Coffee, tea, water + seltzer will be stocked. Alcoholic beverages are BYO. We can stop along the way for anything you need prior to arriving at the ranch.

  • "Amazing weekend. From the warm welcome, to the itinerary, to the food, to a collection of women that inspired me to be better. Thank you for everything."

  • “Words cannot describe the impact Cowgirl Camp had on me. I took a leap of faith signing up by myself and I am so glad I did.”

  • "Cowgirl Camp helped show me what was possible for my life. I am strong AND soft. I am capable AND still learning. All the love for fanning the flames of my dreams."

  • "This weekend changed my life. I went into it hoping to learn from women in agriculture. I came out of it having learned about compassion, kindness & balance. And I made lifelong friends and learned lessons I keep close to my heart daily."
