Fun in the Sun .. Summer Camps
We had a great time with our Intro To Horses Summer Camp this summer. We look forward to hosting our 2011 Summer Camps! We will be offering Day Camps throughout the school year on days children are out of school!
"Advanced Horse Camp" Open to lesson students of Crystal Creek Stables, or riders with previous riding experience ONLY. August 9th - 13th, 9am to 3 pm, Horse Show August 14th. $180
3Day and 5 Day Camps
Each camper will be assigned a horse for the week; each camper will treat this horse as their very own and be responsible for helping to feed, groom, and love this horse while at camp (and yes, campers will clean one horse stall for the week). This is great fun way to teach responsibility and for kids to see all the hard work that goes into owning your own horse!
Everyday campers will get to ride in the morning. For riding we will split the campers into two groups of two.
Campers will get a notebook to take home, full of information about horses. We will learn about different horse breeds; horse anatomy; basic vet and farrier care; daily care and cost of owning a horse; and so much more! After learning something new about horses, we will "quiz" campers on what they have learned, all preparing for the jeopordy game on Friday! (Quizzes can be fun! Like the Color Me Horse Colors Quiz and Paint By Body Part for Horse Anatomy!)
In addition to learning about horses, and getting to learn to ride; each day we will complete a speciall craft and scrapbook page to take home!
One day we will trail ride, and one day 2we offer one on one riding time with the instructor to prepare for the Horse Show on Saturday! WE ARE THE ONLY CAMP IN THE AREA OFFERING ONE ON ONE RIDING TIME!!!!
For our 5 day camps: Saturday will be a Muscial Horse Show; Students will put together a ride to show what they have learned at horse camp, and pick a song to ride too!! Friends and Families are invited and encouraged to come!!
