ABOUT THE CAMP:

Campers are divided into small groups of riders (3 to 4) with similar riding ability and experience. Each day the campers have a group riding lesson.   For campers who attend the full day camp, additional lessons may be scheduled if the weather and time permit. In addition to the riding skills the campers learn during their lessons, campers also learn other aspects of horse care including how to handle a horse on the ground, how to groom a horse, how to tack a horse as well as information about horse health care and nutrition. Campers also participate in a variety of barn chores including mucking stalls and raking the aisle! Campers may also enjoy other horse related activities such as making horse treats and learning how to braid a horse’s mane.

In addition to the horse back riding lessons and learning about horses, campers will also engage in a variety of arts and crafts. The arts and craft activities may include decorating a canvas bag, painting a horse sculpture, making jewelry, painting, decoupaging, experimenting with paper mache as well as painting (with tempera water paints) one of the actual lesson horses - weather permitting! Campers will also enjoy playing some season appropriate sports.

 

Each camper should dress appropriate for the weather - including mittens, hats, boots and snow pants.  Extra clothing may be brought to the barn.   

Campers need long pants for their riding lessons. Campers will need appropriate footwear - ideally a boot with a heel.  (The barn has many boots available for the campers to borrow.)  No one may handle or ride a horse in sandals or open toed shoes. Campers may bring sneakers and other clothes to change into after their lessons. Campers should dress appropriate for the weather.    

Campers should bring their own lunch and two snacks (a.m. and p.m.) to camp.  Ice chests are available. We ask that our campers do not bring peanuts, peanut butter or other nut products in order to avoid potential allergic reactions for our campers with nut allergies.

 

Campers will be able to get out of the weather and relax in our new Activity Center.  lounge has bathroom facilities, hot and cold water, a refrigerator, a microwave, a water cooler that dispenses hot and cold water as well as a table and chairs.
