Horse Lover's Week Eight: Continued

 Horse Lover's week eight was a real treat up on the Ridge! It was a jolly good time watching all the new (and veteran) Day Campers explore their love for horses through all their equine classes. Whether is was Horse Science, Riding or Horse Fun, the campers all showcased their desire to learn and did a great job improving their skills. It was a joy watching them establish bonds with fellow campers and horses alike. We were gifted a stretch of beautiful weather too, just to top off our week. The campers seemed to really enjoy their downhill activities as well. They all got creative during Arts & Crafts time, especially where tie dye was concerned. In Nature, everyday was an adventure with everything from a scavenger hunt to nature jeopardy. Sports was always an exhilarating time with group games galore, some team building exercises and even a visit with the Hoofbeat goat kids for change of pace. 

We finished the week strong with "Jungle Fever" Friday. The camper with the best costume  was even awarded a small prize compliments of Ted himself. As promised earlier this week, we have done our best to capture some of this week's adventures on camera, from the arts & crafts time to riding, and everything in between.
