Located on our 50 acre farm, the camp is designed to foster a love for horses while promoting safety, responsibility, and teamwork. Campers engage in a variety of activities, including daily riding lessons, crafts, barn chores and stable management practices. Our instructors guide campers through foundational skills, ensuring that each individual develops confidence and competence. Each morning is structured to provide hands-on experiences as they work through their rotations in small groups. The afternoons are filled with swimming and other equine activities. Throughout the camp, participants have the opportunity to bond with both horses and fellow campers, creating lasting friendships and memories. At Willowcrest Farm, we believe in nurturing a supportive community where everyone can thrive, making our horse camp a unique and enriching experience for all involved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6112adb8ce52d960eb783823/38c9881c-37f0-4d48-ad9a-bfc5fa586070/kate+and+abi.jpg Horse Riding Summer Camp - Camp activities may include: Daily riding lessons Horse care, grooming, and stable management in a fun environment Guest speakers (e.g. veterinarian, blacksmith) Crafts and games Swimming in our indoor pool Bareback and hay field rides Equine Assisted Learning exercises Campfire with s’mores Scavenger Hunt End-of-week horse show for parents https://www.willowcrest-farm.com/boarding daily 0.75 2022-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6112adb8ce52d960eb783823/1629951483226-QGNP3WUCW5TH2ZOGCSG1/IMG_9701.jpg Boarding - What to Expect Your horse will make itself at home in one of our 30 box stalls, bedded with straw.
