Experience a mini-week long camp! Campers will get to experience everyday life at a barn! Life in a barn will include activities such as daily riding, learning how to braid manes and tails with a ribbon, groom and care for the horses (including bathing) and feed them at the end of the day. This is a great time for campers to spend time outdoors and build lasting friendships with fellow horse lovers in a structured and positive environment. Campers are broken into smaller groups of similar riding experience, which is perfect for both new and more experienced riders. Please note that riding takes about 1 hour per day in arena, no trails and consists of learning how to steer, stop, turn and walk/trot on their own. Campers will spend time on the ground with horses throughout the rest of the day. Campers need to bring: Long pants, closed toe shoes, appropriate for weather inside and outside of the barn. No flip flops! Sunscreen/sunglasses/hat/bug spray/hair tie Water bottle/drink/snacks and a lunch Treats for the horse if you want Helmets are provided Parent drop-off is at 9 am and parent pick-up is at 3 pm.

We want kids to understand that there is more to active life and sport than traditional sports, and through archery, we have witnessed the passion and excitement for sport by way of bow and arrow. Each day kids will learn the safety, technique and fun in the sport that dates back hundreds of years ago. And along with the Archery unit, campers will get the opportunity to geo-cache, build forts, play frisbee games and more. This is all about getting these kids to enjoy the great outdoors!
