Intro to Horses – Aug. 14-15, 15-16, 16-17 at Trefoil Ranch
Program Description
Riding a horse is one of the most exciting things you can do! But ask any good horseback rider their secret to success, and they'll say that understanding a horse is as important as learning to ride one.
During this overnight session, get clued into horses by learning about how to care for horses, what equipment you need, rider lingo and more before grooming, helping tack your horse, and going on a ride. Girls and adults will ride in the arena for 1-hour and have a 1-hour horse care lesson. Time spent away from the stables will be spent enjoying a campfire program, interviewing a Girl Scout camp horse expert, creating a horse themed craft, and making a treat to give the horses!
Please note that housing may be shared with other family units.
Girl Scout Juniors will earn the Horseback Riding badge.

Dietary Needs, Meals, & Snacks
Dietary Needs
The camps can facilitate basic special diets, including lactose-intolerance, vegetarian, gluten-free, and simple allergies. When you registered for your program, you were asked about the participant’s dietary needs and the severity of any food allergies to ensure that we can plan meals accordingly.
Participants with severe food allergies must be fully able to manage their allergies at camp and know not to eat any food that they are allergic to. We do our best to accommodate but cannot guarantee that a participant will not come into contact with a specific type of food or allergen during their stay. If the participant has severe dietary restrictions and food allergies, please contact us at info@gsutah.org.
Meals and Snacks
Meals and snacks will be provided as listed in the Program Specific Information section. Any food or beverages brought to camp by participants needs to be kept in a vehicle, stored in a camp kitchen, or with them during the day (i.e., in backpack). Please do not keep food and beverages (besides water) in your sleeping areas as it attracts rodents and other animals.
When weather permits, picnic tables will be dispersed throughout camp with one household per table to allow for social distancing. In the event of inclement weather, tables will be dispersed in the lodge with one household per table.
Medications at Camp (OTC, herbal, and prescription)
Per Girl Scouts of USA and the American Camp Association, all medications (over the counter, herbal, prescription) must be locked in a secure place. As part of our COVID-19 update, camp staff will not handle medications brought to camp by participants unless it is a girl only program.
Find necessary forms in our Forms and Documents center.
Girl/Adult and Family Programs
Medications are to be in a locked, secure location (e.g., in a vehicle) and distributed by the family. If an adult or child is taking medications or has a medical condition that could impair the ability to participate in the program, please discuss the details with the Program Lead upon arrival.
