HORSES & RIDING
At Conestogo River Horseback Adventures, we value safety as much as fun! Our camp counsellors are dedicated to fostering a secure environment that emphasizes learning, excitement, and respect for both our peers and animals. Our counsellors ensure that every child feels valued and supported. Our accomplished instructors are eager to answer questions and provide assistance to our young riders!
Led by experienced riding instructors, our camp offers dynamic itinerary packed with equine adventures! From Daily rides to hands-on grooming sessions, there is an activity for every camper. With this being said, daily riding is a favourite part of each camper’s experience. Children receive individual attention aimed at their personal ability level, and participate in group rides where they learn by watching and helping others. With a staff-to-camper ratio of 1:5 during riding sessions, we ensure personalized attention and guidance for each camper. In addition, we also have experienced non-staff assistance to further guide our campers.
With riding a horse comes responsibility! Campers are responsible for grooming and saddling their horses, also allowing campers to bond with their equine friend. Horse theory is taught daily. This reviews topics such as what horses eat, how to tell if a horse is sick, how to look after your own horse, and movements of the horse. The staff at Conestogo River Horseback Adventures will show your child the unique and beautiful relationship between horse and rider. We strive to give children the confidence and self-esteem that comes from riding and handling horses.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
Crafts are a much loved part of every day. They change daily and range from friendship bracelets to share with new camp friends, frames for a picture of their favourite horse, stamps, fun foam, leather crafting key chains, etc., the sky is the limit! Supplies are included in the camp fee.
Games feature both on and off horse games to keep children interested and entertained. Children participate in games such as Red Light-Green Light, and obstacle courses that get more challenging as the week goes on. Sign your child up for our Equestrian camp and allow them to express themselves through our endless crafts and activities!
SAFETY
Any person under the age of 18 is not permitted on a horse without proper certified headgear! Helmets are rented by Conestogo River Horseback Adventures at $3 per day. Children must supply their own footwear with a 1/2 to 1 inch heel such as a hiking boot, winter boot, rubber boot or your local equestrian tack shop will have riding boots and helmets & long paints for riding.
Children are never left unsupervised with horses and precautions are taken to make sure we are fostering a safe learning environment! Please note that it is required to pack both riding clothes and winter outdoor gear. The kids will get dirty so do not pack them anything too precious! Extra shoes, socks and gloves are always a plus! Strap on your boots and get ready for a fun-filled adventure!
