Welcome to Ranch Camp!

We are so excited for you to join us for our 2026 Ranch Camps!

We have a lot of fun and exciting things planned.

On this page, you’ll find most of the information you need as you begin preparing for Ranch Camp.

Ranch Camp Strategy Day with Karoline

(Optional Add-On)

Topics we can cover include:

  • Starting or growing a business

  • Getting clear on your ideal customer

  • Your website and messaging (what to say and how to say it)

  • Content that actually makes sense for your life (social and email)

  • Pricing and packaging

  • Business logistics, systems, and what to do next

  • Building an “executive board” (your go-to people who help you make better decisions)

  • Anything business-related we don’t typically have time to go deep on during Ranch Camp

If you’re not in a season to work on business things right now, no pressure at all. Ranch Camp is certainly a full experience on its own. This is just an optional add-on we created because we’ve heard the request for more business-focused time after camp.

One thing we’ve heard from past attendees is that they wish they had just a little more time to sit down with Karoline and talk through their next steps, especially on the business side of ranch life.

So we’re trying something new for our 2026 Ranch Camps! 

Here’s what it looks like:

  • Day: Monday

  • Location: On the ranch

  • Travel: Plan to depart Tuesday 

  • Spots: 4 max (first come, first served)

  • Investment: $500 add-on

  • Bring: A business idea, a current business you want to grow, or specific problems you want help untangling

  • You’ll get: Focused time to work through your business with Karoline in a small group and/or one-on-one

  • "Not only did you and the team teach me things I never thought I would even learn, much less feel comfortable doing on my own, but I have so much more confidence in myself because of this camp."

  • "Thank you for giving me the skills and the confidence to go out and get a real cowboying job. My horses and I are better for it."

Arrival & Departure Information

For those who are flying:

When booking travel, we recommend flying into either the Bozeman or Helena airport. It’s best to arrive after 3pm on the day before camp starts, and fly out after 2pm on the last day of your session, or before 12pm on the next day.

  • For our April 30-May 4 session, that means arrivals on April 29th after 3pm and departures on May 4th after 2pm or May 5th before 12p.

  • For our May 21-25 session, that means arrivals on May 20th after 3pm and departures on May 25th after 2pm or May 26th before 12p.

  • For our May 28-June 1 session, that means arrivals on May 27th after 3pm and departures on June 1st after 2pm or June 2nd before 12p.

We’ll coordinate airport pick-ups and drop-offs, so there’s no need to rent a vehicle.  

If you arrive early, Wednesday is a great day to see a little of Bozeman before heading to the ranch. Feel free to rent a car or take an Uber into town for a little while.

Please keep us updated as you finalize your travel details. If you’re flying in, send us which airport, airline, and your arrival/departure dates and times so we can ensure you have a ride from/to the airport.

For those who are driving:

If you’re driving, plan to arrive after 5pm on the day before your session starts.

  • For our April 30-May 4 session, that means arrivals on April 29th after 5pm.

  • For our May 21-25 session, that means arrivals on May 20th after 5pm.

  • For our May 28-June 1 session, that means arrivals on May 27th after 5pm.

This is the Real Deal

This is a working ranch. And that’s the point.

We want to be really clear about what Ranch Camp is and what it is not, so you can come prepared and get the most out of this experience.

This is not a luxury retreat. This is not a spa weekend. This is not quiet afternoons with nothing to do.

Ranch Camp is five days of living and working on a real cattle ranch.

That means:

  • - You’ll be staying together in bunkhouses.

  • - Meals are family-style, shared together in the main house.

  • - Days involve hands-on ranch work, learning by doing.

  • - You’ll spend a lot of time outside, in all kinds of weather.

  • - The ranch is rustic, dusty, muddy, and real. It smells like cows. There are flies. Your boots will get dirty.

  • - Some days are physically demanding, and you’ll probably be tired.

This is real ranch life, not a curated version of it.

Why we do it this way

Because confidence doesn’t come from watching, it comes from doing.

At Ranch Camp, you’ll step into situations that many women never get the chance to try. You’ll handle cattle, work alongside other women who are learning just like you, and build skills that stick because you’ve actually done them.

It can be hard. It can be uncomfortable at times. And it is deeply rewarding.

Previous attendees say Ranch Camp was one of the most impactful experiences of their lives, not because it was easy, but because it was real.

The bottom line

If you’re willing to work, learn, get uncomfortable, and step fully into ranch life for a few days, Ranch Camp has the potential to change how you see yourself and what you believe you’re capable of.

We just want you to know exactly what you’re walking into, and to show up ready for it.
