The Ranch Camp is our traditional horse camp for where campers spend 3 nights and 4 days at the ranch without any interruption from cell phones or internet!

The Winter Ranch Camp 2 is a girls only camp.

Over the course of the 4 days the campers are designated a horse where they will learn the basics of riding or advance their riding skills through their daily group lesson. During other times campers participate in challenging, fun and adventurous outdoor activities the Ranch has to offer. Some of the activities may include Camp fires, Orienteering, Archery, cabin adventures and much more...

Each evening at camp we have a time of singing and a speaking session with a Christian message where we talk about God, Jesus Christ, the Bible and various challenges young people have today. All campers are asked to participate as it is the foundation of what has created the Ranch.

These camps are suitable for all levels of riders from beginners to advanced.

The camp will conclude with a display of each riding group at the main arena to show off your new skills to your family and friends who come and watch.

Campers may request to bring their own horse, this is subject to SSR approval - please email office@sonshineranch.co.nz

Due to our Ranch Camps filling up very quickly we only allow campers to attend one camp per holiday period.

Due to the increased number of complex dietary requirements and stringent health and safety regulations, the Sonshine Ranch management and volunteer kitchen crew require that if your child meets the following criteria eg Gluten free, coeliac, dairy free or vegan, we kindly ask you to provide 3 prepared evening meals that can be easily heated. Sonshine Ranch will cater for all other meals for your child. This requirement excludes vegetarian diets. There is no deduction of camp fee, as SSR will cover the extra costs of the other meals.
