Wrangler Rookies

Overnight Program

AGES 8-10

Saddle up for an unforgettable week of adventure with Telluride Academy and Circle K Ranch!

We’ll kick things off in Telluride by meeting our crew, playing team-building games, and planning the tasty meals we’ll enjoy out on the ranch. Campers will get to know each other, pack up their gear, and get excited for the horseback adventure ahead!

On Tuesday, we’ll head down to Circle K Ranch for a double-overnight stay full of horses, sunshine, and Western fun. We’ll saddle up for half-day rides on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning—perfect for young riders who want time in the saddle and time to explore. When we’re not riding, we’ll brush and care for our horses, splash around by the river, play outdoor games, and roam the ranch’s wide-open spaces.

Horses may steal the show, but every moment of this Wrangler Rookies adventure is packed with fun, friends, and discovery!

A detailed daily itinerary will be provided to you on the Monday morning of the program.

Telluride Academy's Overnight Policy

Our talented instructors work hard to combat student homesickness on overnight programs. For many students, this experience might be their first time camping or away from home! In the days leading up to the overnight(s), the instructors have positive conversations with the groups to get them excited and prepared for their overnight adventures. This dynamic gets interrupted when a student is picked up early from their overnight. For this reason, we can not accommodate early pick-ups, unless in the case of an emergency. If your child does not want to attend the overnight, or if you have prior commitments that require early pick-up accommodations, we ask that you consider choosing a day program instead. Please call our office with any questions or concerns.
