Camp
I am excited about this summer’s plans! Here are themes for each week:
- June 28 "Want to Become a Riding Instructor?"
- July 5 "It's a Jungle"
- July 12 "World Equestrian Games/Olympics"
- July 19 "Carnival"
- July 26 "Gold Rush, the American West"
- August 2 "Show Business"
- August 9 "Vaulting and Fitness"
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, 2010.
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.
Please email me at hgfcra@aol.com if you have any questions or concerns!
