Trailblazers is our camp for campers rising 3rd grade and up, and are in groups of 6-8 with 1 Mentor. Every morning these campers will attend a core class: Horses, Future Farmers, Hike & Wilderness Skills, Farm to Table, and Creative Expressions. After swim time and lunch, Trailblazers will be given their choice of various elective classes, including horseback riding, botany walks, woodshop, archery, care of small animals, and more. Elective options change daily!
Horse Immersion (ages 8+) is a great opportunity for horse loversmore experienced horse lovers. In addition to honing their riding skills, Horse Immersion campers learn how to care for horses and the meaning of Partnership with Animals. During the heat of the day, they take a break from riding to do fun, horse-related activities. They have lunch and swim with the Trailblazers, and get plenty of opportunity each week to explore other areas of the farm. Horse Immersion is limited to 8 campers each week.
Our Junior Mentor Program is for campers ages 12-16. Teens who demonstrate leadership skills and find meaning in working on the farm and with younger kids are welcome to apply to be a Junior Mentor (JM).
