Wrapping up Week 5!
We had such a great rest of the week! It's hard to believe we are officially half way through the summer!
On Wednesday, in arts and crafts, campers made paper plate parrots! In Sports, they played water games to keep cool. In Skill Surprise, they got to meet some cool reptiles for Small Animal Week! There were 3 snakes and a bearded dragon!! Up at the barn, we learned about the anatomy of a horse. In Horse Fun, campers decorated awards for the superlative winners, and got to display the awards on the horses' stalls. In riding lessons, campers continued to work on their steering at both the walk and the trot!
On Thursday, campers got to tie-dye! Everyone's patterns looked amazing! In Sports, we visited the camp store and played friendly games of Capture the Flag. In Skill Surprise, we got to meet three bunnies and four chickens! The bunnies loved all the pets and scratches from the campers. At the barn, we learned about horse first aid and lameness (sore feet). In Horse Fun, half the groups made horse treats while the other half got to help out around the barn with our Barn Director, Maddy.
On Friday at the barn, campers did the opposite Horse Fun activity then they did on Thursday, so everyone go the chance to do treats, and barn choice! In Horse Science, we learned about the different gaits horses have. Campers even got to try them out with a buddy! In riding, campers got to show off their skills in some friendly mounted relay races! Down the hill, campers took a fun field trip to Peck's Farm Market! They got to visit the store there, see all the animals, and ride the train! It was such a fun way to end the week! Have a great rest of your summer!!
