SUMMER CAMP
KIDDOS AGES 5-8
This camp is for younger kiddos to spend time at a barn with hands-on learning experiences. They will get to spend time with horses, mini-horses, goats, and chickens. They will learn how to care for all the animals at our barn as well as learn how to groom horses, learn about horse tack, and ride.
We do require an ASTM/SEI certified equestrian riding helmet to be worn during all riding lessons. A liability waiver will also have to be signed before attending horse camp.
Parents will drop off at 10am and pick up at 2pm. Please note that parents do not stay at the camp. Your children are in good hands and I know it's difficult to drop your kiddo off and leave but please know that the children tend to do better and learn more when they can focus on what they're being taught and not on their parents. We will take lots of photos so you will get to see their exciting day!
