Located in beautiful central Minnesota, the Circle R Ranch is a unique summer horse camp that offers a rich experience for girls and boys ages 7 through 17. With over 120 horses that have been part of the ranch family for many years. The summer horse camp season runs through the beginning of June till the end of August each year. Including Co-Ed, and Girls Only weeks, as well as our highly popular Teen Week and Mother-Daugher week.

Come spend your summer vacation at horse camp. Not only are horses a part of camp, finding special friendships have been an important part of what makes Circle R Ranch so wonderful. We have a warm and inviting historic main bunkhouse with a large deck where girls and boys gather to share their camp experiences and build life long friendships. Along with this, the bunkhouse has a walkout basement, recreation room, kitchen, and dining room where campers are able to help themselves to seconds.

Without a doubt, the trail rides at Circle R Ranch are the most popular activity on the ranch. Miles of trails ensure different trail rides and of course scenery each day. The rolling hills and beautiful woods that make up our anticipated ride to an overnight campout that may certainly be a highlight of the week. Each child learns to groom, saddle a horse. Horses and riding group levels are assigned as to the child’s riding capability for the coming week.

We at Circle R Ranch pride ourselves in teaching campers the safe way to ride and handle horses. Instructors give basic instruction on the western style of riding as well as horsemanship. All staff are well qualified college and high school aged students with the knowledge and skills to assure that each camper is well cared for and receives the most out of his or her stay at the Circle R Ranch.
