Summer Farm Camp 2012
SUMMER FARM/HORSE CAMP 2012 INFORMATION & SCHEDULE ARE BELOW.
See photos from the past three summers to get an idea of what we offer!
References are available. Contact us if you have any camp questions.
Before we know it, Summer 2012 will be here! If your child likes horses, farm animals, dogs, cats, and taking care of them, they will LOVE a week at our summer farm camp. Splendor Farms is a "girls only" farm camp created out of my love of animals and desire to share my farm with "city" "horse crazy" and "wanna be a vet when I grow up" girls between the ages of 9 and 15. This camp is designed to give girls an opportunity to learn cooperation, self-confidence, and teamwork through hands-on instruction on a real working farm. They will not only learn the basics of horsemanship by daily grooming, saddling, riding lessons, and a trail ride, but also enjoy many other activities including a rodeo, horse games, arts and crafts, swimming, and garden harvesting and cooking lessons. There will be field trips to local berry, alpaca, and dairy farms, and more! Also, guest speakers, such as farriers, equine veterinarians & massage therapists (yes, horses need massages, too!) on various subjects like Equine Digestion & Nutrition & Equine Dentistry! BESIDES, where else can you have your very own horse for a whole week! Day camps and overnight camps will be offered. Three to four counselors (depending on number of campers) will also be on hand to guide the girls and each counselor is CPR certified and has camp and equine experience.

Thanks to all the friends and families who supported the girls when they were unsure of their riding abilities! Thanks to all you campers for bringing your smile every morning! Thanks to those of you who showed up on the first day of your session, having never ridden a horse before, and then by rodeo day you were loping around the arena! You make me so proud!! And thanks to all you experienced girls who encouraged and helped the new girls to be comfortable on the horse and on the ground next to them! And, lastly, to my counselors, Kristen, Kelle, Madison, Samantha, Makayla, Macayle, Lizzie, and Avery....thanks for making another summer of memories for me and for the awesome last day of camp rodeo! I love you all and thank you from the bottom of my stirrup for my flowers! It was a first!!!

CAMP COMMENTS:
"Thought you may enjoy this.
Tonight we have an open house at Kelly's school.
One of her projects to show the parents is a big thing with different things about herself on it.
Likes/dislikes, favorite things to do, movies, books, etc.
One of the things was 'Who is your hero?'
Needless to say, she has you down with a picture of you on a horse that she downloaded off your web site.
I'll take a picture of it and send to you.
You have made quite an impression on both of my girls and I like that very much.
If I had to pick role models for them to look up to, you would definitely be way at the top of the list"
- Margie B.
Kelly B.'s School Project:
"What a great experience for the kids! If my girls had their way, they would spend all of their free time on the farm. They come home dirty, stinky & very tired. The great part is they are away from TV and video games. Mrs. Kelly is great. She has rules and by golly the campers better follow them, or look out! The best part is the girls are chomping at the bit to get back over there. Ha! I Love it. Good Job Mrs. Kelly"
-M.B.
"LeAnn really had a GREAT week. I couldn't believe how much she learned this year.
Was great to see her so excited about EVERYTHING. She really wants to take lessons
so I'll have to see if we can swing 3 p.m. in Sept. She is also begging to come to a mini camp. SO hopefully we will see you before next summer this year. Thanks so much,"
-Donna
"HI, MRS. KELLY!!! I had the BEST time of my life jumping over fences and running on trails AND racing the golf cart back to the barn. There would be no other way that I
would rather spend my vacation. Also I was wondering if you have ANY idea about the Mardi-Gras Break camp... I DON'T WANNA MISS IT :) ! Last but not least, my dad was wondering if we could go on a trail ride... or any available time that we could ride. -thanks in advance...love,"
-Madison Monroe
"I recommend this farm camp for any girl who loves horses."
-Maddie C.
"Camille and Grace loved your summer camp so much they want to do
the Christmas camp. I hope there is still room for them."
-Catherine Camp
"Kate Would LOVE to attend the camp in DEC. She wears her Splendor Farms
t-shirt all of the time and still talks about your camp constantly.
You made a wonderful impression on her."
-Karen Treuting
"Merry Christmas Mrs. Kelly,
Riding at Splendor Farms is like Christmas every day for me...love," -AND- "I am writing you this E-mail because I want to tell you THANK YOU for what you have done for me and that some day i want to be like you and raise a lot of horses and have chickens and goats. I think that you are a really good person and I hope I turn out like you some day.
love,"
-Lauren Plauche "P.S. Can't wait until the Mardi Gras Camp. Tell Rio I said hi please
and let him know that he is the sweetest horse I've had yet."
"Madison is very excited to be returning and is counting down the days. Thank you for providing such a safe and healthy environment. We are confident that she is in good hands when she is at the farm. Thank you for all you do,"
-Mary Jane
(Regarding Taylor C. of Duson, LA) "I will try to bring her for maybe a day so she can visit w/Jack and of course you LOL. She was so heart broken last year about having to leave JACK. I have never seen her take a liking to something like this before. You must have really made a big impact in her life. In fact her grades were weak and we got them improved w/the promise of seeing Jack for the DAY. Hope to see you soon."
-MC
"Thanks for a great Easter Camp. Cole had such a good time. The first thing that she asked when she got home was to go back for a trail ride today! She also said that she would leave her school and friends if we could just move out to the country and get a horse and live on a farm like yours. Looks like you have a lifelong camper! Thanks and Happy Easter."
- Michele C.
"I just wanted to thank you for making camp this week so much fun!!!! Thank you for letting me ride Leo! He is my favorite horse at the farm. Once again thanks!!"
- Lenora D.
"I had such a fun time at camp riding the horses, naming goats, playing with
the puppies, making tee-shirts and memory books, and cooking green beans.
As soon as I got home I wanted to go back! I just wanted to say thanks for
a great
camp and I can't wait for the next one. Oh and could you tell buster that i said hi?
Thanks Mrs. Kelly for a wonderful camp."
- Cole C.
"Must I even say it? Camp. Amazing. Awesome. Fantasic. And all of the above!
I really thought that it was neat when you let us feed by ourselves- that (and i'm speaking for all of us) made us feel so proud after we finished- hondo was AWESOMELY pretty & nice. I CANT wait till the next camp... MAN! I'm counting down the days and
I just left!
Another camp gone by- another group of girls- another week of memories!
Thanks for making camp special!
- Love,"

I will miss you Mrs. Kelly and all your lovely animals"

She would love to be a counselor one day too if that need ever arises."

(which was... What's the word? Oh yeah, AWESOME!!:D) I hope that next year you let me become a counselor, and you can bet your bottom dollar that on August first- my email about thanksgiving camp will bee coming in! Can't wait till my next chance to see the farm again!

She just adores you and all of your pets :) Being a single mom, with 2 'almost teenagers', it's a sigh of relief to get them to stop fighting long enough to smile and share a day with me with no fussing, and you helped create that day for us. Thanks so much!"
-Jamie N. (mother of Paige)
