Summer Camp 2012 - Opens June 18th!
Thursday, January 20, 2011 at 12:38PM Our staff consists of experienced counselors and certified instructors who conduct our sessions in a well supervised environment that ensures our campers learn safe, responsible ways of handling horses. Our camp is structured to make sure our campers understand safe handling while they learn to groom, saddle, bridle and ride their own horses.
We strive to help our campers form the foundation necessary for strong riding skills, or help further existing skills that gives your child a rewarding riding experience. We enjoy creating fun adventures that may find us blazing new trails, playing games, decorating our horses, or sharpening our new found skills, all of which helps campers quickly come to understand the joy horses bring to our lives. This positive experience will provide a strong relationship with our equine companions in hopes of developing a love of horses that carries on for life; all while having fun and making new friends!
Our experienced Counselors and Group Assistants take care in matching each horse to the camper's ability, assuring a safe, positive experience. Our staff enjoys children and creates fun adventures on horseback. We will blaze trails and play games that build lasting relationships with our equine and camper friends.
Camp runs from June 18th to August 13th.
