Who We Are
Our nonprofit is for all kids, at-risk kids, kinship, guardianship, adoption, foster care, kids with struggles in school, and the horse crazy child!
A life skills horse camp for kids offers a unique and enriching experience that blends equestrian activities with essential personal development. At such camps, children not only learn how to ride and care for horses but also develop vital life skills like responsibility, patience, and teamwork. The bond formed between the campers and these majestic animals can boost self-esteem and empathy, as horses often mirror human emotions, offering a non-judgmental space for learning. In addition to equestrian skills, these camps typically incorporate activities that promote leadership, communication, and problem-solving, fostering a sense of community and cooperation among the participants. This immersive environment allows children to grow in confidence and resilience, equipping them with tools that extend beyond the camp into everyday life. Children travel up to seven hours to attend our camp for the distinctive experience.
