The Rock'n Star Ranch
EDU-VACATIONS
Clear your mind, fill your soul and experience the get-away with your horse you've always dreamed of...
Edu-Vacation is a term invented by Christa and her sister Carol over years of combining their vacation time with their love of equine educations. An Edu-Vacation is your chance to get away from it all (with or without a friend), kick back in the country, unwind, recharge and learn!
Enjoy a weekend (or a week!) of customized learning with your horse at the Rock'n Star Ranch, taking full advantage of all that it has to offer! You'll stay in our cozy Bunkhouse (RV, sleeps 6-8 people) or your own camper or, if you prefer a more modern accommodations, the South Thompson Inn is within a 30 min drive of the ranch and offers comfortable, pet friendly rooms on the river. Enjoy campfires under our peaceful, wide open, starry skies by night and cover country, delve deep into horsemanship and find yourself in the saddle as you develop an unbelievable bond with your horse by day.
Book yourself an Edu-Vacation and come enjoy our beautiful ranch, take advantage of our neighboring wineries and explore all that Kamloops has to offer! Prices (including equine accommodation) from $375/day! Contact us for more info!
