A Transformational Ranch Camp for Girls Ages 11-14
Now Enrolling for Summer 2027 Week 1 June 21-27 Week 2 July 19-25
Located at Zion Mountain Ranch
Utah
At Sunny Trailblazers, girls step away from screens, schedules, and everyday routines and into a week of real ranch life, horses, friendship, nature, and adventure.
Guided by strong, passionate women, girls learn horsemanship and trail riding while discovering the trust, patience, and connection that can exist between a girl and a horse. They experience the compassion of an animal sanctuary, where rescued and special-needs animals are given a second chance, opening their eyes to the power of empathy, kindness, and dedication.
And then there’s the adventure.
We hike Zion National Park, explore sand caves, ride bikes, swim and inner tube in the river, play on the ranch, and simply let girls be girls — wild, curious, playful, and free.
Sunny Trailblazers is a transformational ranch experience filled with inspiring role models, meaningful connections, unforgettable adventures, and the freedom to just be a kid. Come for the adventure. Take a little ranch life home with you.

Arrival & Ranch Scavenger Hunt
Welcome to Zion Mountain Ranch! After arriving and meeting one another, we’ll kick off the week with a fun and interactive scavenger hunt designed to help everyone explore the ranch, get comfortable with their surroundings, and start making new friends.
Our adventure begins at the reception area, then winds through the greenhouse and Cordwood Restaurant before heading out to the horse-riding area and the chicken coop. Along the way, teams will follow clues, complete challenges, and discover some of the special places they’ll enjoy throughout the week.
The final clue leads everyone back to their cozy cabins—their home for the week—where they’ll have time to unpack, settle in, and relax.
After our ranch adventure, we’ll gather together for a delicious welcome dinner at Cordwood Restaurant, sharing stories from the scavenger hunt and celebrating the beginning of an unforgettable week at Zion Mountain Ranch.
