Camp Overview
What benefits do children derive from camp? Experiences that develop confidence and the ability to communicate, to work as a team, to take on responsibility, to be creative and innovative, to want to make the world a better place. How do horses bring out the best in children? Caring for a horse creates a sense of Responsibility; Interacting with a living being teaches Respect; Creating a bond with a kind, gentle creature shows Compassion; Being in control of an animal larger than yourself grants Confidence... And the shared love for horses builds friendships that last. This combination allows us to give children a unique experience which will help them thrive in the world!
