Description of Camp:
"Equine First Aid Fundamentals"-themed horse camp includes teaching young people how to be safe around horses, how to identify the ones who are hurt or in pain, learn what horses are saying with their body language, give solutions on how they can help their furry friends, and give them opportunities to learn and practice taking vitals and bandaging wounds. Other activities include games, trail walking and trail riding, arts and crafts, and barn chores!
Each day will include interaction with the horses to include feeding, riding, tacking, groundwork, saddle work, free play; nature related lessons regarding health, nutrition, and care of horses; arts and crafts that are theme related to the camp; games to include relays, water play, board games, and field play; round pen time to include introductions and icebreakers, announcements, group interactions, ending accolades, snack time and meal times.
No riding experience is necessary as all riding experiences will be accompanied by one-on-one helpers. Though there will be some riding every day, this is not a horse-back riding camp, so the focus is not about riding.
*All Campers 10+ will receive a "Fundamentals" Booklet and Certificate of Completion to take home.
**Please note adult supervision will be limited after camp ends, so please arrive a few minutes before class is over to pick up your happy Camper! Cost will be $1.00 per minute after 3:40 pm.
