Welcome to Week 3!
Happy Week 3! We had a great first day with our new set of campers this week! It is so fun getting to see new and returning faces each week. In Sports, groups got to know one another with some icebreakers, and then they played SPUD! In Arts and Crafts, for our Superhero-themed week, campers made paper bag superheroes and got to assign some superhero traits!! In Skill Surprise, campers played a fun game called "Dr. Know It All" and got to meet our goats, Pip and Pop.
Up at the barn, campers had a great time learning proper safety around horses, as well as how to saddle and groom a horse. In Horse Fun, campers made "Horse Ads" for their favorite horses to show them off! It was so fun to see what everyone came up with. In our first riding lesson of the week, campers focused on Hoofbeat's 5s's: Starting, Stopping, Steering, Spacing, and Squirreling.
Tuesday in Arts and Crafts, campers made pipe-cleaner superheroes and supercars! In sports, we played all different types of Tag! In Skill Surprise, groups made group comics! Each group designed its own story and got to draw out each part of the storyline! Up at the barn, campers learned about different horse breeds, colors, and markings, and then got to line dance in Horse Fun! In riding, campers worked on their steering at the walk and the trot! We can't wait to see everyone grow with their riding skills this week!
On Wednesday, in Sports, campers played Giant Spoons! In Skill Surprise, campers made Superhero Decoder Wheels and were able to write secret messages! In the Arts and Crafts, they designed their own superhero worlds/cities!
At the barn, campers got to groom our mini ponies, Luna and Junebug! They loved to be pampered today:) In horse science, campers learned about horse senses and communications. For riding, we got to continue working on learning different horses' quirks and working on their steering! Everyone is improving so well! See you tomorrow:)
