Getting excited for the 2010 events at ELKIN CREEK GUEST RANCH

The sun is still shining across the lower mainland here in beautiful British Columbia. The record breaking warm weather over the last week has me daydreaming about summer. Warm against my back, the sun beats through my office window, creating a glare on my computer screen and distracting me from my usual duties....I begin conjuring up visions of hot summer days. Of course, my thoughts drift to days spent at the ELKIN CREEK GUEST RANCH, where some of my fondest memories were created (lucky me!). Reminiscing over last year’s events, I start to get excited for our 2010 season, which starts in less than three months...Yeehaw! I’m not too sure which event I’m looking forward to the most, although, because it’s all about the ladies, I do play favouritism to our Cowgirl Bootcamps. Each and every event is an adventure...and, best of all, inspires a unique and true sense of the west.


What would you be most excited about?

Broncos kicking up dust storms as they buck and toss denim clad cowboys from their rippling backside... soft winds catching the brims of well-worn felt cowboy hats...the scent of warm leather... (Nemaiah Valley Rodeo)

A sense of victory as you and your horse collaborate to conquer the minds of cattle... navigating your way through the unspoiled, luscious countryside...cooking up a challenging feast over an open fire, glasses of wine clanging as you cheers the accomplishment and satisfaction of teamwork... (Cowgirl Bootcamp)

I could go on and on, but instead come check out the ELKIN CREEK GUEST RANCH EVENTS PAGE for more details or check out our FACEBOOK ALBUMS for pictures of the events.

Say 'Happy Valentine's Day' with a COUPLES BOOTCAMP GETAWAY at the ELKIN CREEK GUEST RANCH

Love is in the air as Valentine’s Day tickles our taste buds...and our waist lines. With shelves full of cinnamon hearts, sweet tarts, and red foil-wrapped chocolates, how could we forget, right? Not only are we stressing over our caloric intake, but we are increasingly stressed over how to romance our partner again this Feb 14th. Each year couples across the globe struggle with ideas of how to surprise and impress their loved ones yet again.

Some don't agree with Valentine’s Day. They would argue that everyday should be a celebration of love. Ok, maybe a more familiar argument would be that it's completely commercialized, and a way to make money from mass purchases of junk food and sweets. I would have to agree with both.

Here is the thing about relationships though. They DO need to be nourished and cherished and sometimes recharged throughout the years. Couples often forget what it's like to have fun together..I mean REALLY HAVE FUN! In order to reawaken the puppy stage, we need to show appreciation, change things up a bit, challenge each other, work as a team and set new goals together.

I've got just the thing....ELKIN CREEK GUEST RANCH’S 2010 COUPLES BOOTCAMP!! It's a fun and exciting way to rekindle the LOVE.

For the second year in a row, Elkin Creek Guest Ranch is hosting a Couples Bootcamp. So what, it's not your typical lay by the beach, burn your buns type getaway. It's even better! You'll learn to lasso, let loose, and laugh your boots off. Expect plenty of riding, challenging relays, hilarious couples games, chef-prepared meals and drinks with new friends.

So, if you want to knock the socks off your loved one this year, and beat out all your friends with the BEST GIFT, then enjoy the EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME this September 23-26 at the Elkin Creek Guest Ranch.
