Retreats
We offer mother/daughter and girls (ages 7-18) overnight retreats throughout the year. Four day camps are offered currently during early summer weeks. One to two mothers are needed to attend the retreats or camps as chaperones with the girl groups. We have space for up to 10 people. Two queen sized bunkbeds and 6 twin size bunkbeds. A retreat typically includes Christian horsemanship, Equine Facilitated Learning through games and initiatives with horses, devotions throughout the day, fishing, hiking, cooking, cattle classes if requested, and fun girl time in the bunkroom!
Zanzibar is a place to unplug yourself from electronics and the rushed paced world we live in to enjoy the steady rhythm ranch life has to offer. We start early and stay outdoors late when the weather allows. Everyone participates in chores, horse care & feeding, ranch work, sometimes gardening, and even cooking! There is time to relax during the day for reading and journaling (which is strongly encouraged). Scripture is used throughout the day and we take time to grow in our relationship with God along the journey.
