More Information:
Early drop off and late pick ups okay unless after 6:00 at which time there is a $6.00 per hour after
camp care fee (because that is my cooking and shopping time.)
Friday afternoon we will have a small competition and awards ceremony so plan to stay until 7:00!
Campers will be exposed to and challenged to complete a CHA Certified Level
of I, II, III or IV, which ever is appropriate to their horsemanship level.
All will learn improved grooming skills with the expectation of expert grooming at level IV, including leg
and hoof care, mane pulling, clipping and braiding.
All will improve riding level and will ride or handle more than one horse per day. 3s and 4s will be expected to ride
at least 3 and care for them all competently.
Additional
skills to be taught:Basic survival skills in the outdoors with emphasis on hydration for horse and camper, packing and
unpacking for horse shows including feed preparation and safe packing of hay nets, preparation of ready rooms, proper eye
and ear care of your horse, care of the tack, basic first aid for horse and rider.
We trail ride or hike to neighboring farm for swimming so you will need to bring your swim suit on day one
and may leave it with me until Friday. Also bring one change of clothes and rain wear including rubber boots in case
of inclement weather.
Sun screen and insect repellent
will be provided, but send special brands if your child has allergies, etc. PLEASE LABEL ALL MEDS WITH NAME AND INSTRUCTIONS.
THESE WILL ALL BE KEPT IN MY WINDOW FOR EASE IN REMEMBERING ADMINISTRATION SO LOOK FOR THEM WHEN YOU LEAVE CAMP!
IF I AM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BARN WHEN YOU PICK UP YOUR CHILD YOU MUST SEND CHILD TO TELL ME THAT HE OR
SHE IS LEAVING AND WITH WHOM - PLEASE DON'T LEAVE WITH YOUR CHILD WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE!
Camp cost is $555 for the week except Thanksgiving camp which is $500.00. (The awards ceremony and
fun day will be held on Wed. for Thanksgiving camp.) A $55.00 non-refundable deposit will hold your spot. If payment
made one month prior to camp deduct $25.00 from total payment.
Note: Thanksgiving camp is frequently cold so swim suits and insect repellent not needed unless unseasonably
warm. Replace with coats, mufflers, sock hats & gloves. We will still spend much time outdoors!
