Throughout the week, campers will have opportunities to participate in: swimming horseback riding arts & crafts evening skits and campfires. The camp program is designed to utilize adults that are attending the Training Institute portion of the camp, by pairing camper and adult together throughout the week. We encourage campers to bring a trainer with them to the Training Institute, however, it is not a requirement. If a camper does not have someone attending with them, someone will be assigned to them.
