Almost Spring Camp Update

 

   

Hello from Hoofbeat!

We hope that you and your family are doing well.

We are busy gearing up for spring programs at camp and also for summer!

There have been a couple of UW groups that have had retreats with us the last couple of months - we enjoy hosting them!

In March, we'll have two Wilderness First Responder Clinics here. Those always keep us busy as we provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner for them. Our barn cat (Whoopi) likes to come down to the lower part of camp to see if she can get anyone to pet her whenever we have groups in. This time of year she gets lonely since there are so few people around!

In April and May we have several Girl Scout programs and Saturday camps that we're running. Everything has filled up, so we are getting schedules ready , arts and projects set up, and looking forward to seeing campers and staff back at camp again!

Day Camp starts back up in June, which will be here before we know it. All of the sessions are full (they filled within a week of us opening registration this year, which has never happened before). A BIG thank you to all of our loyal campers/ families and we look forward to seeing new faces too. 

We have lots of returning staff this summer and a few new staff/former campers that have been hired also. We'll be posting staff bios on our camp Facebook page and the blog, so be on the lookout for those!

The horses are all doing well and are even starting to shed their winter coats. Every now and then we let them out in their pastures so they can get some exercise. Usually they run around and play for a while before they stop to see if there's anything they can munch on.

Well, that's all for now. Take care!
