HORSE CAMP ADVENTURES
Spend a week playing with horses, growing friendships, and building "stable relationships". You will spend plenty of time riding and learning new horsemanship skills while building great foundations in faith and Christian fellowship. Certified Horsemanship Association safety standards and natural horsemanship techniques are taught by trained and certified instructors.
Horse campers spend a portion of each day learning about horse care and natural riding techniques. Lessons, trail rides, ground games, obstacle courses and special events will fill your week and improve your skills. We use Natural Horsemanship techniques as our teaching cornerstone to build a partnership with horses. Campers will work on building confidence as well as skills. Most horsemanship "levels" will take more than 1 week of summer camp to become proficient and progress to the next level.
More than just riding skills, campers will learn horsemanship while growing in faith and friendship with other horse campers and staff. Campers are immersed in the total care; including daily feeding, brushing, saddling, bathing, and mucking out the "paddock" areas. There is also ample time to choose to enjoy all the other great camp activities (crafts, swimming, boating, archery, mountain biking, hiking and more), providing horse lovers with the best of both worlds! Our horse programs are based on ability more than age. Please check out the skill levels campers will work toward below.
