We invite you to attend our annual summer
camp. Our camp is open to children ages 4 & up, beginner to advanced. We carefully design our curriculum to appeal to
all levels and ages. We place our campers in groups based on age and experience for the safety and better understanding of
each camper. We offer individualized instruction for our beginners and group lessons and games for our intermediate and advanced
riders. Our camp focuses on total horsemanship, educating campers in the areas of grooming, handling, safety, nutrition, breeds,
colors, and foal care. We provide daily opportunities for every child to ride, usually both in the morning and afternoon.
We are a horse camp and ALL of our activities focus on horses and horse related activities. Our facility lends itself beautifully for offering 3 distinct
areas for our campers based on ability level. The newbies and beginners are in the indoor arena learning the basics. The advanced
beginners and intermediates are in one outdoor arena polishing up on skills, playing games and having a blast. And the advanced
riders are in the new outdoor arena practicing advanced concepts and really challenging each other. Our campers do come together
as a large group for some activities. However, our large facility and three seperate arenas allow us to truly offer 3 levels
of camp every week. We also have trails for our intermediate and advanced riders, depending on the planned activities for
that week. Campers have the opportunity to advance from one group to the next, especially if they attend multiple weeks. During Advanced Week, our advanced campers are also
able to participate in a real hands on way by having two project horses for the week. They will learn skills on the ground
with "their" yearling &/or weanling for the week, learning fabulous exercises to earn a horse's respect from
the ground. And they have a riding project horse on which they will learn advanced skills in the saddle. This is a great opportunity
for any camper who owns his/her own horse, really wants to own his/her own horse, or just wants to really challenge himself
to move to the next level of horsemanship. In
2010 we will offered 5 weeks of camp, including one week of advanced, one Cowpoke and 3 general horsemanship weeks.
Please check back with us early in 2011 for our camp dates for next summer!
