Most of the riding we do in the winter is bareback so that the horse's furry coats help us stay warm in the chilly. For those that aren't quite ready for that, saddles are always available.

Off the horses we go sledding on some of the best hills you'll ever see. Campers can bring their favorite sleds or use our crazy carpets and flying saucers.

Other snowy activities include snowman building, snowball fights, snow sculptures and of course, Peter's wild snowmobile tours.

Once we get cold or it gets dark outside, we head inside for a wide array of games and crafts that are sure to keep everyone laughing. One MVA favorite is the creation of our annual "good luck piggies". These baked goodies are said to bring luck as we enter into the New Year.

One of the biggest highlights of each winter camp is the New Years Eve celebrations. Not only do we have all the great food and party supplies but also a huge bonfire, fire works and the super special "midnight ride".

That's right, we hike out in the middle of the night to ring in the New Year on the back of your favorite horse. How could the year start off any better?!
