School & Group Program

with Mountain View Adventures

Schools & Groups

Teachers and group leaders are constantly striving to provide their students with meaningful and enjoyable learning opportunities. Field trips offer a wonderful chance of doing just that.

Though we hope you take the opportunity to introduce your pupils to the world of horses, camps can be arranged without horse activities as well.

Our program choices have been developed and tried by teachers, leaders and students since 1989 and have been fine-tuned to offer only the best fun yet educational opportunities.

Non-Horse Activities

	Art
	Arts and crafts are always a great activity, especially on those rainy days. Use your own ideas or try some of ours!


	Music
	The beauty surrounding the camp can inspire any soul and offers a great backdrop for musical endeavors.


	History
	Discover local native and settle history with entertaining stories and hands on experiences.


	Survival
	There are a variety of activities geared toward teaching survival skills to choose from.


	Wildlife Education
	Discover local native and settle history with entertaining stories and hands on experiences.

The Horse Program

The following are only suggestions; you may of course add your own programs to your outing. We work out each plan individually to meet the group’s needs and provide the best possible results.

Please note that all evening activities are run and supervised by the teachers/leaders. All horse related programs are run by us only.

Other programs are supervised as stated with the program. Typically you choose one horse and one non horse program per day. If you wish not to include horses in your program, please contact us for additional non horse options.
