Camp Activities;

1/ 2 Day:
Fishing in our stocked lake. Bamboo poles provided. Kids can bring their own fishing pole if desired.  Life jackets will be provided.
Hiking; our rigorous paths make for good hiking. Learn the names of plants, and identify animal tracks.
Equestrian activities- Riding lessons and small groups will rotate on trail rides. Also learn how to saddle, groom and lunge a horse. We have gentle horses and helmets.
Swimming (only if and when a life guard is present)
Movie Day; at least one ½ day we will watch a great classic movie- most likely Charlie Chaplin. This will be discussed afterwards.

LUNCH; Each camper is required to bring his or her own lunch. Please refrain from high sugar/fructose content foods. Beverages and snacks will be provided

1/2 Day:
Art Activities

Music Video. Our plan is to create a music video with the group. We will come up with a song, or songs to make a video to. The group will be divided into their interests, which will include: singing, dancing, costuming, and making a set i.e. Painting, Sculpture and Design). The Instructor will shoot the video and edit the event and each person will receive a DVD of the final production. There will be a material fee of $30 for this class. This fee is required for camp attendance.

Rainy Day Activities include: Darts, horse grooming, movies (great classic and art films- not necessarily common release)
