Horse Camp for Kids - Summer 2022

Registration is OPEN NOW for our Summer Horsemanship Camps! Starting on Wednesday, February 23rd, we are accepting application forms for Buckaroos (for ages 7-10) and Wranglers (for ages 11-16). These half-day, week-long camps here at Falcon Beach Ranch aim to connect kids with horses. The camps are spent with (and on) HORSES, they are OUTSIDE, and best of all, they are FUN!

Camp participants spend time in the stables with the horses, developing skills such as grooming and tacking up, while at the same time developing a bond with their equine partners and learning how to communicate with them. Much time is spent in the saddle as well, learning proper western riding techniques while navigating the Ranch's forested trails or playing games in the outdoor arena. 

2022 DATES

Buckaroos (2 sessions): July 18th - 22nd | August 8th - 12th *SESSIONS FULL

Wranglers (2 sessions): July 11th - 15th | August 15th - 19th *ONE SPACE LEFT IN JULY!

Horse Camp for Kids - Summer 2019

** Thank you so much for your interest, but the 2019 Horse Camp sessions are full **

Summer is yet again just around the corner, and we’re excited for another summer full of all things horse!

Registration is OPEN NOW for our Summer Horsemanship Camps! Starting on Monday, February 4th, we are accepting registrations for Buckaroos (for ages 7-11) and Wranglers (for ages 12-16). These half-day, week-long camps here at Falcon Beach Ranch aim to connect kids with horses. The camps are spent with (and on) HORSES, they are OUTSIDE, and best of all, they are FUN!

So if you have a passionate young cowgirl who has asked for a pony for Christmas, or a cowboy-to-be that came for a trail ride and didn't want to leave, or even if you have a timid buckaroo who just needs a little more experience to feel comfortable around horses, you may want to consider horse camp this summer!

Encountering the Falcon Lake Incident

Have you ever heard the tale of the strange incident that took place in the forest north of the ranch in May 1967? A prospector's unexplained sighting led to bizarre behaviour, burns, and a story that will raise the hairs on the back of your neck. The Falcon Lake Incident was the subject of the most recent "Tales from Falcon Lake" (Story #10) by Lyndon Froese, which you can find on the Falcon Trails Resort website: http://falcontrailsresort.com/close-encounters-of-the-2nd-kind/

Currently one of the only ways to access the remote site is by horseback, over a rugged rocky ridge, departing from here at Falcon Beach Ranch Once you arrive at the site and dismount your horse, your guide - well-versed in the history of the event and the reverberations throughout the Falcon Lake community - leads you through the event as it unfolded, where it unfolded.

Whether you remember the story from your childhood, from its appearance on Unsolved Mysteries, or whether its news to you, the Falcon Lake Incident is a piece of Manitoba's history!
