FIVE MARYS

COWBOY CAMPS & RANCH CAMPS

FIVE MARYS COWBOY CAMP

at our new Five Marys Rodeo Ranch in Wickenburg, Arizona!


Pull on your boots, pack your sleeping bag, and come experience life the cowboy way. Five Marys Cowboy Camp is a new hands-on adventure for pre-teens, teens, and families who want to ride, rope, cook over an open fire, and live under the stars at our working rodeo and roping ranch in Wickenburg, Arizona.

A chance to learn real ranch and cowboy skills, to connect with the land and animals, and to experience the grit and reward of a good day’s work. Whether you're brand new to horses or already swinging a rope, you'll leave with confidence, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for the Western way of life.

Campers will learn to saddle and ride a horse, learn to handle a rope and practice roping a calf, and take care of animals each morning. In the afternoons, we'll teach practical life lessons and outdoor know-how, from building a campfire and grilling your own dinner, to riding the Arizona desert trails and sleeping out under the stars.

This camp is modeled after our original Five Marys Ranch Camp in Northern California, where kids and families learned by doing—feeding cows at first light, fixing fences, making their own sausage, and gathering around a fire at the end of each day with full bellies and grateful hearts…. but rodeo style!

At Cowboy Camp, we’ll do the same. We’ll ride horses, cook outside, learn new skills, make friends, and get a little dusty in the best way possible. We will be there sharing what we love most about ranch life and helping you build the confidence that comes from doing hard things.

Camp sessions will range from long weekends to full week stays. Dates are coming soon, and spots will be limited.

Come spend some time on the RODEO RANCH with us. We promise it will be an experience you’ll never forget!
