These five-day summer camps have been a hit for decades.   Here's how we spend our time:

 

Horse Activities:
Since we are all here for the horses, they take center stage every day. Most days we ride twice. Once in a formal riding lesson where skills are learned and/or developed. However, unlike most "lessons" these ones are usually everyone's favorite activity because they learn to do things they never thought they could.

The second ride of the day is always a fun activity, such as trail riding, playing games on horseback or bare backing. MVA strongly believes that riders should learn both the serious and fun sides to horseback riding and care, so all students are exposed to as much horse knowledge as possible.

 

Non-Horse Activities:
A week can seem like a long time but we've made sure that there is no lack of entertainment. When we aren't off on an adventure with our horses, we are playing games, making crafts or enjoying ourselves around a campfire. There are plenty of activities throughout the week to join in or take a chance to relax and enjoy our amazing scenery.
