Whip & Lasso - Discover what you get

If you’re looking for traditional skills that will appeal to the adventurous side of your campers, the whip and lasso are great additions to any program!

There are many other ways in which you could go about researching the whip and lasso, and developing them both for implementation. Some of these research sources are listed below and we encourage you to take a look at what else is available before you purchase from us.

What we are offering you, that is different from anything else you will find, is valuable insight and experience to aid you in eliminating common mistakes and provide you with an activity that has a working balance of safety, fun and learning.

What you could do:

  • Hire someone to create a whip and lasso activity from scratch. This would take approximately 30hrs+ of work at roughly $10 per hour, and very little of the information you will find is even remotely geared towards teaching in a camp setting. You will need to:
    • Research many whip and lasso resources: online, in books, publications, videos.
    • Search for equipment online, in local stores, trade magazines, camp conferences, neighbor camps, etc.
    • Create your own lesson plans.
    • Trial and error the equipment and activity to find out safety points and logistical considerations.

  • Websites for you to check out:
  • A book for you to read:
    • “Let’s Get Cracking!: The How-To Book of Bullwhip Skills” by Robert Dante - $16.95 on Amazon.

What we offer:

  • Lesson plans which prioritize safety while nurturing fun and learning!
  • Videos of how to learn these skills yourself, and how to teach them to campers.
  • Equipment lists and suggestions of where to purchase from (NB: we do not receive royalties from the suppliers that we list).
  • Safety considerations (except considerations which will be site specific – please call us about those!).
  • Photos.
  • Our trial-and-error knowledge points.
  • A one hour telephone conversation with a member of our staff, well-versed in both the whip and lasso activities, to help you adapt it to your needs and answer any questions.
  • Email contact for any questions that arise during your implementation.
  • Special offers relating to your purchase, in addition to program updates.

Benefits:

Other resources for these activities rarely comment on the specifics of teaching the skills to children. Therefore, it is our belief that by purchasing our whip and lasso package, the value you will receive will be far higher than the investment you will make in researching the activity yourselves. We hope to pass our tested knowledge on to you and give you the tools you need to create your own camp activity, while eliminating the time-consuming research involved in the alternative.

  • You invest considerably less personal and staff time and in researching the whip and lasso activities, the research has been done for you!
  • You receive the benefit of our errors made, and knowledge developed from us running the program.
  • A lesson plan that focuses on the learning and development of the campers.
  • Many creative variations for the activity.
  • Reliable contact with a human being, who can answer your questions and help you adapt the program to fit your organizations needs.
  • We hope to spur innovation in your organization by planting a seed.  If you create a program we don’t have, we‘d love to talk about buying it from you for our camp!
