Spring Break Camp Update

We are excited to be planning for the kids to be coming back for March break camp starting March 14 to 18th 2022. The curriculum is designed like our horse camp format. The option is available to sign up for a day or the whole week. The kids deserve the chance to experience camp again. They missed out last year. Don’t miss out on this opportunity on a childhood experience.

Leaders in Training Camp

Introducing a new camp experience for kids ages 11 and up!

Our leaders in training program focuses on establishing 6 key skills to assist youth in developing their own sense of self awareness and providing them with the tools needed to build a solid foundation for personal growth.

Our program provides a supportive environment which focuses on establishing skills in the following areas, creating the building blocks of a confident leader.

  1. Assertiveness – Learning to be assertive in a healthy way using initiative and direction, rather than resorting to bullying tactics.
  2. Emotional Awareness – Exploring their own emotional responses as well as those of their peers, reflecting on resulting behaviours and non-verbal cues.
  3. Stress Tolerance – Embracing exposure to horses, being larger animals who can often lead to feelings of anxiety or intimidation, we work to overcome and cope with uncomfortable situations and vulnerability.
  4. Self Empowerment – Many youth struggle with self esteem and sense of value, causing insecurities to thrive. Overcoming obstacles and tackling new skills builds confidence and empowers them to master other aspects of their own growth.
  5. Problem-Solving Skills – Working through various tasks arranged within the program allows opportunities for youth to examine the best attitude  with which to approach problems at hand. This requires creativity, thinking, and leadership.
  6. Interpersonal Relationships – Our small groups and small counsellor to youth ratio provides a nonjudgmental safe place for youth to build trust and explore effective interpersonal skills while fostering strong relationships with others.

Join us for Survival camp, farm camp or Equestrian camp

Equestrian camp is for ages 7-16. Every day camp includes a horseback riding lesson and a lesson in horse theory covering everything from proper horsemanship to horse care and feeding. Each day we do a horse related craft and spend some time playing games.

Survival camp is perfect for kids that are ever to explore; ages 7-16yr Participants will be stepping away from the equine and farm program to learn basic survival skills by doing activities such as raft building, Mantracker, flora & fauna identification, hiking, fire building, and more!

Farm camp for ages 4-6 is a great way for younger children to experience life on the farm. Each day includes a 30 minute pony ride, crafts, games and animal time. Through out the week campers will gain an understanding of basic horsemanship skills, how to care for and feed our petting zoo animals and farm safety.
