2011 Camp
Event Camp
This camp is designed for the more advanced rider who is ready to work on their dressage tests, improve their stadium jumping and school and work on cross country skills. This camp is designed for those who own their own horses and lease. We will have horses available for those who don't have a horse. The Event Camp will attend an event during their session. Entries to the event will need to be sent in before the first day of camp, so if there are questions please let us know in advance. Campers will also be exposed to conditioning, health and stable management. The camps will run Monday through Friday. The events are on Saturday. Part of Friday's camp day will be preparing for the event. Event Camp runs from 9-3. Campers will take a trip off property to school cross country at least one day of the week.

We will start our programs at 9 am when the campers arrive. The kids will be learning ability-appropriate stable management, horse care, riding, vaulting, trail, jumping if able, barn chores and the like. They will also be learning horse-related games on and off the horses and they will even learn the new FCRA theme song! Camp will go until 4 and they will need to be picked up promptly at 4, so they can tell you everything that they have done.
The kids will need to come to the farm with riding clothes, play clothes, and plenty to drink, as well as lunch and snack. They will need sunscreen and bug spray, and a good nights sleep each and every night! We will be taking kids from ages 7-13 to do camp, and we will have suggestions for you if you like, about which week may be best for your camper.
Camp this year will be $425 per week. Any camper wishing to come needs to send in a $200 non-refundable deposit in order to hold their spot and those who send in payment in full will receive an early registration discount of $25.00 per week if paid before May 1, 2011.
This is a great opportunity for your kids to get buddies involved as well. We are taking kids who have never been around horses as well, so if your child has a friend with whom they would like to go to camp let them know about us!
We suggest that riders do two weeks in a row, but we can offer any combination to you so that you can design your summer accordingly.
