Enjoy equestrian programs run by Hillside Meadows and Red Rock Stables!
Horse Lovers- Learn how to ride and care for horses in this Horse Lovers Program. Students will groom and ride their horses each day under the supervision of seasoned riders and a licensed and insured instructor. No experience is necessary. Our horses are gentle teachers with an aptitude for amateur riders. Students must wear long pants and boots with a heel. No sneakers. Helmets will be provided. Parents must sign a liability waiver.
Farm Buddies- Participants will spend time on the farm and enjoy various farm animals (including goats, chickens, rabbits, horses and our barn cats), treks, adventures and games in the woods, while learning about different plants, trees and animal habitats. We will also have craft time using items found in nature and play lots of games. FOR THOSE WHO ENROLL IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON PORTIONS- Lunch is required and will be administered in between sessions, and there will be staff watching over the children between the two sessions.
Horse Buddies- Participants will learn to handle, groom, tack up a horse, have a riding lesson, learn to muck stalls and other daily chorse required to keep horses
Teen Art in Nature- If your teen has a passion for the arts, this will be a week not to miss. Participants will spend each day out in nature with a new subject and a new medium daily. We will use graphite pencils, colored pencils, charcoal, water colors and acrylic. Fees include all supplies needed. * participants will be sitting drawing/painting for 2-3 hours.
