Horse & Farm Camp - Ages 5-12 - Mahogany Bay Farm

Horse & Farm Camp - Ages 5-12

Enjoy educational and fun days at a horse farm! Campers will learn about horses, goats, chickens, honeybees, and gardening. They will be taught about safety and responsibility around farm animals and will go in depth, learning all about horses and horse care. Campers will also participate in light farm chores including grooming horses, collecting eggs from the chickens, and feeding the farm animals. Campers will enjoy adventurous nature walks with our friendly herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats and have pony rides with our lesson horses. Camp wouldn’t be complete without STEAM activities, arts & crafts, sprinkler fun and water games!
Campers should bring long pants with boots and shorts with sneakers. They should also bring lunch, snacks, drinks, sunscreen & bug spray. Bathing suits and beach towels are optional for the water games. Certified riding helmets will be provided when campers take pony rides.

Horse & Farm Camp is run by Erin Sheffer, the owner of Mahogany Bay Farm and the Director of Riding & Educational Programs at the farm. She is a Certified K-12 Comprehensive Business Education Teacher and has taught STEAM, Computer and Business classes alongside managing her very popular riding lesson program.
