In Depth

Since 1962, girls have come to “the BR” to have fun with friends and horses and enjoy a variety of camp activities in a safe and stress-free environment. The BR is a family- owned and operated camp, offering one, two, three and four-week sessions and mother-daughter weekends.

At Black River Farm and Ranch you will be able to experience being a horsewoman. Each camper will share in the duties of bringing in the horses, feeding, grooming and saddling them. The BR has more than 80 horses. You will have an opportunity to go on trail rides, mounted lessons, ground lessons and vaulting.

The activities program at Black River is full of adventure, creativity and fun! During the afternoon, the girls are free to go swimming, boating, visit the small animals, play field activities, jump on the trampolines and so much more.

Black River hires only exceptional girls who exhibit leadership potential, caring personalities and positive attitudes. All riding instructors are Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) certified instructors.

The BR is licensed by the state of Michigan, American Camping Association accredited and certified by the Camp Horsemanship Association.
