Girls Horse Camps         Girls Summer Camps

This girls adventure horse camp session welcomes new and returning Alpengirls to an authentic mountainous western horse adventure in Alpengirls homeland - Montana. SW Montana is where expansive valleys, tall native grasses, and steep mountain slopes are easily explored by horse and on foot. Western trail riding at it's best; horses here are equipped to take you into rugged areas of the backcountry. Our main focus in this session is western leisure trail riding and horse pack tripping. We also include day hikes to remote lakes and peaks, canoeing, rodeo attendance and guitars with high mountain campfires. Girls attending should be eager for lengthy mountainous rides uphill and along high rugged scenic divides. Girls attending should be comfortable around horses, but don't necessarily need to have had riding experience - girls are matched with horses according to experience. Note: This session is NOT intended for girls who are apprehensive about horse riding. It may also not be suitable for girls who are very experienced riders that desire daily riding challenges. The average teen girl with moderate to no riding experience will be best fit for this session. You may like to add MT2 to this session for 3-weeks with Alpengirl!

Horseback Riding: Following the path of early explorers and native peoples, we'll enjoy 4 days of horseback riding through wildflower meadows in high mountain valleys and across sparkling spring fed creeks. Girls easily connect with the charming characteristics of their horse (Ben, Festus, Shiloh, Foxy and others) and our long-time horse guide Mel, simply the best cowboy you will ever meet! Girls that have proven their horse riding skills will be allowed to gallop during portions of the ride. Our western riding adventure will take place in the Centennial Mountains just outside the boundaries of Yellowstone Park. At day's end we will drop down off those lofty Centennial Peaks to our absolute favorite Alpengirl backcountry camp spots. Nestled together in a very special grove of aspen trees surrounded by sage and lilies our tents welcome us with a refreshing sense of 'home'.

Canoeing: Our adventure continues in Idaho on the flat waters of the Henrys Fork of the Snake River for a river day full of sun and Alpenolympic water fights. View nesting osprey, mysterious underwater grasses and moose in the willows, as well an occasional American eagle.

Final Celebration: The town of West Yellowstone is host for our souvenir shopping and final pizza party celebration followed by attending a western rodeo! This will complete 8 days of unforgettable adventure under the big skies of Montana.
