Living Water Ranch is a part of Camp Li-wa. The camp has been serving interior Alaska for over fifty years. At the ranch our primary purpose is to provide a place for people to step out of life’s pace into a picturesque ranch setting where they can let down their guard, and experience beautiful horses, top notch facilities, quality teaching, and a deeper understanding of a creator who loves them. The staff is made up of a team of year round, part time, seasonal and volunteer individuals who are dedicated to developing relationships, teaching, mentoring, and instructing.
The ranch maintains site accreditation from the Certified Horsemanship Association, a nationally recognized standard for horsemanship safety and education. Our riding instructors also maintain CHA certifications and are continually perusing a better understanding of horsemanship. At the ranch we teach both western and english riding as well as a number of associated skills. The horses are of different breeding, and are carefully trained to accommodate many different levels of riders.
Ranch Camp Kids 4th through 9th grades will love our week long summer ranch camps. Learn horsemanship from the ground up. Two hours out of every day is spent in the saddle. There are also ground classes,' crafts, and other exciting camp activities. Each rider will have a chance to decide if they would like to work towards CHA rider certification. This is composed of four discipline specific levels. Earning a cert will ensure you are able to ride at "your level" at other CHA facilities throughout the world. For the horse enthusiast this is the place to come.
