Summer Camp 2022!!
The week went by way too fast! We had a blast with the campers! Every single one of them was a joy to be around and impressed us with their work ethic and curiosity. They learned how to take care of the horses and chickens, how to lead a horse, how to saddle up, how to ride, and how to clean stalls, tack, and water buckets.
They learned horse communication and somatic awareness from Liz Liverman (www.equisyncoach.com). They learned about wild animals and why soil matters from Ross Braun, a Virginia Master Naturalist. The campers are now master zip-liners and have met a black snake (Bessie) and a box turtle up close. The campers dressed up Willy Donka and learned about donkeys with Meredith Milligan. They did morning movement with Kristina Frolova of Washington, DC, to center their awareness and breath and set their intentions for the day. They each created an Equus artistic masterpiece with cloth, paint, and yarn with art master and camper wrangler, Sheri Blankenship.
To close it out, they each showed off their skills for their parents and friends and independently rode through an obstacle course. We could not be prouder of what they put into their week and what they accomplished!
