Rawhide Ranch
Rawhide Ranch, a private camp established in 1963, is located in northern San Diego County, California and is famous for providing campers from all over the world a taste of the old west. Campers learn to ride in our well-known western-style equestrian program. Co-ed program, ages 7-15. The daily program includes riding, vaulting, animal care, animal & horse science classes along with a variety of electives to choose from such as roping, swimming, archery, drama, crafts, climbing tower, weekly newspaper, dance, field sports/games. ACA & CHA accredited.
Ranch Hands learn how to ride a horse in a week, and can learn horse gymnastics (vaulting) or how to drive a pony-drawn cart. At the end of the stay, everyone participates in a horse show, either riding, performing or showing a farm animal. Campers earn privileges after demonstrating proficiency and safety in many events and electives.
The Ranch employs 19 full-time staff with an additional 10-12 part-time employees for the weekend camps, and 35-40 summer employees. Many of the employees are also students.
