​

​Each of our retreats offer skills to offer your child personal growth and instill self-confidence while learning horsemanship or about nature.  We set up teams during camp, so all can make new friends and learn about team-building.  Our Horse Retreats are a terrific way to get your child into horseback riding at a savings over typical private lessons.  Weather pending, campers will ride at least once a day, sometimes twice daily.  Arts & Crafts and other activities fill the days around horses.  A yummy (peanut free) lunch and snack is included each day.   Our Wild & Unplugged Day Camp does not involve horses.  Hours are 10:00am - 3:00pm each day, Monday through Wednesday. 

​
