Specialty Breakfasts - We have a tradition of preparing specialty breakfasts for you, in addition to the breakfast provided in the Dining Hall. This year we will once again be offering Buckboard breakfast and Loggers' breakfast.
Buckboard Breakfast - Start with a ride through the Nicolet National Forest up to our breakfast site, called Split Oak. You will be greeted with scrambled eggs, potatoes, and grilled PB+Js freshly cooked over a wood fire just for you. We hope you enjoy breakfast around a campfire, led by our very own Wranglers!
Loggers’ Breakfast - Listen to the birds and enjoy the views as you walk down to a lakeside campsite, where you can enjoy blueberry pancakes and sausages freshly cooked over a fire. Take your pick of coffee, orange juice, or milk to wash it all down!
Free Time Options: Horseback Riding, Climbing Wall, Zip Line, Airsoft, Pistol Range, Trap Shooting, Basketball, Volleyball, Mini Golf, Pickleball, Horseshoes, Pontoon Rides and more.
Trap Shooting- Use our guns and purchase both our ammo and clay pigeons at $5 for 10 shots or bring your own gun and ammo and purchase clay pigeons at $1 for 10 shots.
Pistol Range - Feel free to bring your own pistols**, but no high-caliber rifles or pistols, please. Targets are provided. This is only open when the trap range is open.
**All pistols must be locked up in your car. No concealed weapons are allowed on Silver Birch Ranch property.
Concerning Babies and Children:
We want you to enjoy a wonderful weekend without your normal family responsibilities. Please find care for your children so that you and others can enjoy time away from it all.
