2021 Wrangler Camp Program
Girls ages 7-15 will be evaluated on arrival and placed into groups with riders of the same ability or ride by themselves if they cannot ride independently.
This program welcomes beginners through intermediate riders. Campers will have a daily morning lesson and also will ride twice weekly in the afternoon.
Flat work and jumping exercises are the backbone of the program. We have started the beginners on bareback pads with incredible but expected results!
Cross country riding, Gymkhana, and trail rides are also introduced to the riders.
The camp day runs from 8:15 am to 3 pm.
Enrollment is limited to allow personalized instruction.
Activities
Campers can choose their own activities based on their interests and strengths
We provide an inclusive environment that allows a low-pressure opportunity for campers to practice healthy risk taking, by giving the autonomy to choose activities, campers are motivated to learn, create and grow!
The following is a sample activities sheet each camper receives.
Field Trips
Places such as organic farms, equine clinic with the most advanced and modern technology in Equine Veterinary Medicine., the South Branch of the Raritan River,
a belted cow operating farm, solar panel fields, etc., offer a real-world glimpse into how STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skills are applied in the growth fields of the region.
Traditions
We are very excited to offer “rainbow lunches”!
What are rainbow lunches? We believe that eating a variety of different colored fruits, vegetables and meats provide essential nutrients and enhances our daily food intake.
We have created a lunch menu for our campers that is:
• visually appealing
• well grown
• carefully produced ingredients
• locally and seasonal produced
• simply cooked to preserve their nutritional value.
• Prepared from scratch
• Organic when possible
• No GMO’s
We can also provide dairy, gluten, nut, and meat free lunches. Part of our “green curriculum” includes the topic of “food miles” that is the distance travelled by some of the food we eat. Campers will learn about locally sourced food with a focus on sustainability. They will learn about their food choices, the health of the community, the environment and themselves.
We are hoping this knowledge will foster sound nutritional practices, responsible food choices, and environmental stewardship.
