Summer Camp & Horse Ranch * Girls 6-16 This is what summer is all about! For more than 50 years Black River Farm and Ranch has been the place that girls escape to for the best summer camp experience on earth! A short drive from Detroit, MI just outside the chaos of city life you will find paradise at the end of a dirt road…The BR is the place to be if you are a girl who loves horses and wants to have fun. Your days will be filled with riding lessons, trail rides, vaulting, swimming, arts and crafts, boating, archery, and much more! Where else can you choose from more than 70 different horses and have an hour and a half riding lesson every day. Black River Farm and Ranch is licensed by the State of Michigan, approved by the State Health Department, and Accredited by the American Camping Association. We are celebrating more than 50 years of camping owned and operated by the same family. A charming 160 year old ranch house centers all of the other buildings on the 360 acre farm and ranch in the thumb area of Michigan. The west boundary of the ranch is more than 2 miles of the Black River. A stream wandering through the valley, a five-acre lake, natural woodlands and the fields of the River Bend farm combine to create a perfect setting for girls out on a horseback ride.
