Cowboy Camp FAQ's
-
What is Cowboy Camp?
Cowboy Camp is an immersive western experience where participants can connect with horses, learn basic horsemanship skills, and enjoy various outdoor activities. It’s designed to bring people together in a relaxed, fun environment that celebrates the western lifestyle.
-
Where is Cowboy Camp located?
The camp is held at Sandbar Sanctuary, a beautiful ranch setting that provides the perfect backdrop for our western-themed activities. Because Sandbar runs programs that support women and teens who have suffered from domestic violence, the exact address will only be shared once you register for the program, but the ranch is located in Sun Valley, CA just off the Sunland Blvd exit on the 5 freeway.

What will we be doing at Cowboy Camp?
Jayme, the owner of Epona, will decide and adjust activities based on her assesment of each participant's skill level. Participants will enjoy activities like horsemanship, grooming, tacking up, and riding. For more detailed information on our program, please click here
