Summer Camp

July - August 2009

Summer Camp 2009 is going to be a fun and exciting time at Peaceful Acres.

Sessions are limited to 8 students per week so youth get individual attention.

Camp Week: Wednesday - Friday (4 days) starting the second week in July. To sign up for camp, you must complete and return both the registration (doc) and release (pdf) forms with your deposit.

Day begins at 9:30 and participants must be picked up by 12:00.

Participants must bring snacks and drinks.

This is an experience in horsemanship; the rider - student will learn how to care for a horse, grooming, feeding, farm work as a whole-yes at times that does include getting dirty! We help participants to become proficient at Natural Horsemanship and learn to "speak horse", not  just be a passenger!

The importance of partnership and communication are a major influence which makes us better riders."Equine Assisted Learning" activities, using The EAGALA Model,  which build on teamwork and empower the participants to reach for their goals and develop leadership skills will be planned daily!
