VIDEO AND PICS OF CAMP 2010 AVAILABLE NOW ON OUR "Summer camp video and pics" LINK!



SUMMER CAMP:
Ages 6 and up welcome (some exceptions for 5 almost 6yr. olds) .

Even if your child has never touched a horse, or is at an advanced level he or she will love being at Paddle Stone. We have horses and instruction for all levels and your child will never feel left out!

All campers are required to bring a packed lunch and a snack, or money to purchase a snack from our snack box (variety of candies and chips, drinks), closed toed shoes with laces, a change of clothes, SUNSCREEN AND LOTS OF WATER, and must wear pants suitable for riding and getting dirty in. On rain days, children WILL BE walking out in the rain to get and return their horses from the paddocks, so water proof boots and rain gear is strongly suggested. We do not ride during extreme heavy rains, winds, or storms or heat. During those times we will be doing crafts, learning more about horses and care,  or watching movies or playing Wii games on our 110 inch screen TV.

A typical day of Summer Camp this year will start with assigning groups. This year our campers will be split up into groups according to experience with horses and age. Our beginner group will be children who have never handled, walked, groomed a horse. The intermediate group will be children who can walk or trot on a horse independently and have some knowledge of horses. The advanced group is made up of children who are cantering and at least started on jumping. The beginner group will learn all about proper leading, grooming, tacking up, etc. By the end of the week all children should be able to safely halter a horse, lead, groom, tack and tell basic body parts of a horse. The intermediate group will be working on the above as well as learning posting trot, and for most children in this group, jumping small poles and crossrails. The advanced group will be mostly working in our new Cross Country field and Dressage arenas. Each camper will learn a dressage test as well as learn how to ride a cross country course. Each group will ride until 11:30AM. At this time we will cool off horses and put them away and break for lunch. After lunch and rest time we will get a new group of horses and start all over again with our riding classes. Riding classes will end by 3:50 and we will hose off horses and put back out. After this time we will play games and snack until parents come for pickup. On Fridays we will have OPEN HOUSE for parents. You can come for the MORNING SESSION of ride time and watch your child in action. We DO NOT allow parents on any other day to stay as we have had issues in the past with children paying attention to instruction when parents are present and the children need to learn riding safety during the week days. On Fridays we will do a photo session with each individual child so parents have a keepsake that can be downloaded offline. On fridays we only ride a morning session. A pizza lunch will be ordered which children can participate in for an additional $6 fee.This fee will provide your child with two pieces of pizza, drink and chips. After lunchtime on Friday campers will help clean up the facility and learn about equine and farm maintenance. 
At camp we have a Candy Store that sells a variety of candy, chips and drinks. Prices are $.25-$1.50. If you do not wish your child to be able to buy candy or drinks or wish to restrict what they get please send along a note the first day of camp with your requests. We also sell Paddle Stone Equine T-shirts which are available during camp sessions for $17.00. 
Children who attend more than one week of camp will be moved up in levels as the progress and learn. Dont worry if you have to sign your child up for the beginner camp but plan on attending more than one week. We will take care of the advancing for you.
Paddle Stone has an indoor arena, so during light rain days we will still be able to hold riding classes. The facility has a basement to go into should a tornado warning be issued and we will continue on with camp afterwards so do not worry about needing to pick up children. We normally will not ride during a day with a  heat advisory but will still do learning sessions and OUTDOOR activities. 
All of our horses are well experienced with children horses and are tested to be as safe as a horse can possibly be,  Expect your child to be out in the sun for the majority of the day, so dont forget sunscreen! Summer camp tends to fill up by Mid May, so if you are interested in signing up, please contact us ASAP so we can reserve a spot for you! Camp my be taken by the day- just pick a day during our available weeks to attend, or you can do a full week, or all available dates!
