SUMMER CAMP at SCHAUBER STABLES, LLC

Schauber Stables, LLC is offering a unique summer riding camp opportunity for children between the ages of 6 to 14.  This year campers will be given an opportunity to attend camp for the entire day or for half a day.

Campers will be divided into small groups of riders (3 to 4) with similar riding ability and experience.  Each day the campers will have a group riding lesson.   For campers who attend the full day, additional lessons will be scheduled if the weather and time permit.   In addition to the riding skills the campers will learn during their lessons, campers will learn other aspects of horse care including how to handle a horse on the ground as well as how to groom and tack a horse.  Campers will also participate in a variety of barn chores including mucking stalls, scrubbing water buckets as well as cleaning and filling water troughs.  Campers will enjoy other horse related activities such as making fly spray, making horse treats or making crossties, lead lines and halters.  Campers will also learn how to braid a horse’s mane and groom a horse for a horse show.  They may even have an opportunity to learn how to clean tack.   On really hot days, the campers may be asked to cool off some of the barn horses by hosing them down with water.

Campers will have the opportunity to take hikes, play volleyball, badminton, kickball and other sports.  Different camp games may also be played including water balloon tosses, egg and spoon races, three legged races and sack races.   Just in case the campers didn’t get wet enough hosing the horses off, a sprinkler will be available for the really hot summer days!

Campers will also engage in arts and crafts.  The arts and craft activities may include decorating a canvas bag, painting a horse sculpture, making jewelry, painting, decoupaging, experimenting with paper mache as well as painting (with tempra water paints) one of the actual lesson horses!

Campers will be able to get out of the hot sun and relax in our newly renovated lounge.  The lounge has bathroom facilities, hot and cold water, a refrigerator, a microwave, a water cooler that dispenses hot and cold water as well as a table and chairs.  

Campers should bring their own lunch and two snacks (a.m. and p.m.) to camp.   Ice chests are available.

Campers need boots with a heel and long pants for their riding lessons.  No one may handle or ride a horse in sandals or open toed shoes.  Campers may bring sneakers, shorts and other clothes to change into after their lessons.  Each camper should have a bathing suit and towel for the very hot days.  A spare set of clothing can be left at the barn during the camper’s week.  Sunscreen and bug repellant are also recommended.
