New Cowgirl Camp

June 29-July 3, 2026
Lazy R Ranch
Cheney, WA 

One of the most beloved programs at Roots of Resilience is New Cowgirl Camp, a five-day immersive learning experience for women exploring regenerative ranching. Held at Lazy R Ranch in Cheney, Washington, the camp blends classroom learning with hands-on experience in a working ranch environment. 

Participants learn practical skills such as:

• Low-stress livestock handling

• Grazing planning and pasture assessment

• Fencing and basic ranch infrastructure

• Farm and ranch business planning

• Building supportive networks in agriculture

More than anything, New Cowgirl Camp is about community and mentorship. Participants arrive from diverse backgrounds- some brand new to agriculture, others already working in the field- and spend the week learning, working, and reflecting together. 

By the end of the week, campers leave with new skills, new relationships, and a clearer sense of how they want to participate in the future of agriculture.
