Summer Camp 2010
It’s going to be a week packed full of fun! Join us for Horsmanship classes, Fishing, Hiking, Crafts, Swimming, Picnic Lunches (bring your own lunch), other Outdoor Adventures, and no parents allowed! Horsemanship classes vary according to skill level, but include patterns, barrel racing, games, roping, cattle herding, and trail riding. Each day is started with Biblical group devotions that encourage closeness with God, self-esteem, and teamwork. Christian values are incorporated into all activities of camp throughout the week.
Camp sessions start June 7 thru August 19, 2010. A week of camp runs Monday – Thursday, 8:30am to 3:00pm. There will be a maximum of 16 kids each week of camp that are close in age. The kids will be divided into two groups of 8 and ride in different arenas according to horsemanship experience. Please check our calendar for the most appropriate week for your child to attend camp. Your child is always welcome to come even if there age does not match other campers ages. We just strive for campers to have the best experience possible and find that if they attend with kids their age they have twice the fun! Camp is geared for kids ages 7-14, but older (up to 16) and younger (6) are allowed to come.
Cost is $300 per rider each week. Family discounts are available and if children come more than one week to camp. Help us fill up camp fast! For a limited time only, sign up a friend at the same time you register and get $25 off your camp fee.
