Finally they are FUN and can teach us how AMAZING life can be! Your child will fall in love with the world of horses!
There are so many amazing animals, plants, fungi, and other living beings on the farm that help to make this place what it is! From learning about animal communication to exploring life on Ames Creek and the Sultan River, we will delve deeper into the beauty and magic of life on the farm. Farm journeys from waterways to migration routes, there are many animals, elements, and other beings that migrate, move through, and contribute to the farm environment. We might do some tracking, visit the river, think about different life cycles and journeys, create maps, and try our hand at different forms of navigation. We take a stand to inspire mindful behavior, sustainable stewardship, and animal husbandry. From the youngest to oldest camper, everyone is an active participant in daily farm activities.
Working with horses and farm animals fosters values of teamwork, respect, and responsibility. With guidance from our knowledgeable educators, campers will care for a wide variety of animals.
*Boost teamwork skills with fun horsemanship games in and out of the saddle.
*Gardening and the growing cycle by working in our camp garden.
