Horses/Stables

Before we know it Summer 2010 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 style 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 7 and 14. 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, but also enjoy many other activities including a farm rodeo, horse games, arts and crafts, and garden harvesting and cooking lessons. There will be field trips to local alpaca and dairy farms, and more! Also, guest speakers, such as farriers, equine veterinarians, and master gardeners! BESIDES, where else can you have your very own horse for a whole week! Day camps and overnight camps will be offered. Two counselors will also be on hand to guide the girls and they will be CPR certified and have camp and equine experience.
