NEW for Summer Camp 2010!
Each season we introduce new activities to keep camp exciting and fresh! We know campers are going to love this years additions.
Wacky Wednesdays : Every Wednesday is going to be a special theme day. Crazy Days include: Backwards Day (dress and ride!), Crazy Hat Day (decorate your helmet), Happy UnBirthday Day, Twin Day, Tacky Day, Wet & Wild Day, Pajama Day and much, much more!
Stable Management: We've totally redesigned our stable management program. Material is broken down into levels based on age groups. This will ensure our younger campers will be able to continue to progress successfully through the upper levels. All material is now going to be presented through games and hands-on activities. We know campers are going to LOVE the new program!
Camper's Choice Award Banquet: Campers will get to vote on awards for their counselors and nominate fellow campers for awards. We'll all get dressed up for dinner at overnight and present awards afterwards. Awards will include: Best Dressed Counselor, Best Fall, Highest Jump, Future Camp Counselor, Loudest Camper, Stable Management Certificates and more! (Don't worry, we'll save the Camper Awards and Riding Level Certificates for parents show)
