The basic course is for beginning trackers, as well as returning students who love the variety of adventures to be had in the Idaho backcountry. The advanced course is for students returning to Idaho who are seeking a more focused study of wildlife tracking and the biology and ecology of wolves. Each course is limited to 16 participants!

Completion of this form will require a physical exam completed within one year of the course date, and an appointment with that physician for the form to be filled out.

Ekone Ranch Wrangler Camp

Location: 401 Ekone Rd, Goldendale, WA 98620 | Map It
Ages: Ages 12-18 Cost: $1050 (scholarships available)
Event Info: 509-773-6800 | Web site | emailEkone 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. 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.
Wrangler Camp is designed to give young people age 12 and older a more intensive riding and ranch experience. Wranglers will get the chance to really hone their horsemanship skills, explore more advanced trails, and participate in horse training. Wranglers will help plan the week’s activities, including meals, work projects, and a special adventure that may include an overnight pack trip, a visit to our best local horsetrainer, an excursion to a new spot on Rock Creek Canyon, or another adventure we haven’t dreamed up yet!
