Blue Skies of Mapleview Horsemanship Camp

We are a year-round working horse farm. We don’t ship horses in for camp. These horses are our beloved family members. The camp is specifically designed for young people 8-18 years of age who love EVERYTHING about horses!! We began this camp in 1996 to answer a need and work to improve it every year! We are outdoors all day playing in the beautiful natural setting of a farm. We get dirty, get wet, learn how to do groundwork with horses, learn to catch and lead, to groom, clean hooves, tack up, ride bareback to feel all the muscles at work for the horse ride in an English balanced seat, play games on horseback, earn saddles and reins, have fun, laugh a lot, and drink oodles of water! In the heat of the afternoon, specialists come in to teach equine-inspired art projects, lifeguard at the pool, teach horse massage, teach about horse health and wellness, and other topics so each week is different. Enrollment limited to three weeks per student.

Strouds Creek Farm Summer Camp

We have designed our summer camp programs to offer a unique and fun filled experience for your child. Summer camp is intentionally limited to 15 children per week. This group size allows children to develop friendships and enjoy calm and joyous days on the farm, while also providing the intimate feeling one might get at a friends birthday party, or a playdate with friends.

Down to earth, nature based days spent outside are the vibe around here. We lean into a routine of activities that are loosely defined so that we allow for flexibility. We strive to balance the structure and supervision that is necessary with a “free ranging approach”. We feel that some unstructured play and the freedom to just be a kid throughout the day is what makes our summer camp program so much fun!

1870 Farm

Each day offers new ideas and activities! One day we may be making pickles, and the next day inventing a new ice cream flavor. We may go miniature frog collecting or attempting to teach some of the more social animals new tricks. The older children are encouraged to participate in the entrepreneur program and come up with ideas for products to be sold at the farm stand on Fridays.

As a farm we are always on top of the weather and will adjust schedules accordingly. The farm offers its own micro-climates and activity spaces so we have lots of flexibility in our activities. Barn games might include “steal the bacon”, potato sack races, corn hole, or a game we actually build and play such as “four in a row”. Every child will have a chance to go gemstone mining and fishing each week. Every Friday we invite parents and guardians to come at 2:00pm to leisurely explore the camp, have an ice cream, and see what their campers have been up to all week!
