Camp memories last forever! We make sure they are unforgettable! Shadow Ridge Summer Camps offer
so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part
of their program, at Shadow Ridge horses ARE the program! We are 100%horse from stable (马厩)
management, nature walks, and track rides to bedroom furnishings.
Horses help us achieve many of our aims. Girls can learn to develop responsibility, self-confidence and
personal connections in their lives while having fun. Using horses as a wonderful tool for education, our camps
offer an interesting place for growth and learning.
Imagine each girl having her very own horse to spend time with and a best friend to love and take care of.
Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week. Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson
time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack (马具), as well as how to ride. Days are
filled with horse-related activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn
to work safely around the horses.
At Shadow Ridge we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers. We have "The
Bunkhouse" (4 girls), the " Wranglers Roost" (4 girls), and "The Hideout" (2 girls) in our comfortable
177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.
Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child"s vacation, Each child will receive a
camp T-shirt and a photo album (usually 300-500 pictures) of their stay at camp.
Our camps are offered during June, July and August 2007, for small groups of girls aged 13-16 years, not
only from Canada but also other parts of the world.
