The Setting
Somewhere in the middle of Montana.
Cowgirl Camp takes place deep off the beaten path. We stay at working cattle ranches on vast acreages with largely cabin-style lodging. This is your chance to get away from it all and see parts of Montana’s rangeland from horseback the way few ever get to. You’ll have limited cell service & no wifi, and we encourage you to leave the hustle and bustle at home and immerse yourself in the quiet found on these remote ranches.

One of the many things that sets Cowgirl Camp apart is the all female team. You’ll be welcomed by the ultimate girl gang who are living this life day in and day out. From working cowgirls to ranchers, homesteaders, and outdoorswomen, our team will share their knowledge - and the unvarnished beauty of working with horses and livestock - with you.
the TEAM
You’ll ride an established ranch horse who is suited to your riding ability. The horse string is primarily made up of quarter horses. Our steeds are used to herding cattle and taking their riders on all manner of terrain. We prioritize good horsemanship and will teach you how to connect with, and listen to, your horse.

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.
Logistics
Arrival: pickup takes place at the Bozeman airport (BZN) on Friday afternoon. We’ll shuttle you to the ranch from there! You can also follow us in your own vehicle (though if you choose to do so, make sure you have a spare tire and the tools to change it).
Departure: after breakfast on Monday morning we will (sadly) depart the ranch and head back to the Bozeman airport.
Trip Insurance: we highly recommend purchasing separate trip insurance and flight insurance.
