Activities are optional, not bundled automatically; this is on-site, not mobile. Branding is supervised and waiver-controlled, not a DIY activity. Horse rides are separate and require staffing; wind can cancel fires and indoor weather alternatives exclude campfires. Confirm guest capacity and animal welfare boundaries.
