New Cowgirl Camp is taught by a team of seasoned pros. No question is too big or too small. Explore your future in Regenerative Agriculture in a celebratory, supportive environment.
What you’ll learn:
This is an immersive 5-day experience that combines classroom and hands on learning.
Maybe you have been dreaming of a career in agriculture, but you did not grow up in a farming or ranching family. It can be hard to know where to start. At New Cowgirl Camp you will be learning from lifelong ranchers and seasoned professionals. No question is too basic or too advanced.
Cowgirl Camp curriculum includes:
Basic farm skills, fencing, and facilities
Animal husbandry and low-stress animal handling techniques
Planning grazing to maximize ecological benefit
Assessing pasture health
Managing your farm or ranch for resilience
Relationship building
Farm business management
Leadership and creating positive change
Working in the field of agriculture and seeking opportunities
Should you sign up for New Cowgirl Camp?
If you—
Are considering a career in agriculture, but aren’t sure where to start
Have taken ag-related classes, and now want practical experience
Are thinking about a career change to agriculture from another field
Are just curious about farming or ranching life
Are an established livestock producer seeking to improve your technical skills and knowledge
Want to network with some amazing, forward thinking, and supportive women or looking for a rich experience in a ranch setting.
The New Cowgirl Camp is for you.
At New Cowgirl Camp you’ll learn about ranching heritage and traditions from a fourth-generation cattle rancher, veterinarian, and a BIPOC shepherdess. And you’ll learn about current, science-based regenerative practices that will put your future farm or ranch business on a sustainable footing.
Whether you want to work on a farm or ranch or, maybe, own your own farm or ranch business someday, you will benefit from New Cowgirl Camp.
There is good demand for workers in the field of agriculture but it is hard to find people with skills and up-to-date training to fill jobs. There are many retiring farmers and ranchers who would like to find someone qualified to take over their operations. If you plan to buy, transition into, or create your own farm or ranch business, New Cowgirl Camp will help you prepare. You must be at least 18 years of age to participate.
What is Cowgirl Camp Like?
The Lazy R Ranch is a working cattle ranch. Accommodations are rustic- use our provided bell tents or pitch a tent in our yard, soak in the beautiful views, and enjoy hearty meals of fresh local meats and produce. Days will be a mix of classroom lecture, group discussion, and hands on demonstration. We’ll have field trips off the ranch to other farms and ranches, and you’ll have the opportunity to participate in the day-to-day operations of the ranch— all in the company of like-minded women. Evenings are filled with discussion, music, poetry, and laughter. No matter your background or experience level, you will leave with a full heart, a full mind, and a lifelong group of friends.
