The 1883 Cowboy Camp

In order to get ready for this western drama, the actors needed to experience ranch life first hand. An authentic cowboy camp was created to turn these actors into real-life western riders, ropers, and wagon drivers. This camp had everything you might imagine existed back in 1883.

From ‘egg on a spoon’ riding challenges to learning to swing a rope, this group had a fun and informative experience in cowboy camp. The more they learned about ranch life the better they could portray their character.
