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, selfconfidence 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 horserelated 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
yearold 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 Tshirt and a photo album (usually 300－500 pictures) of their stay at camp.
Our camps are offered during June, July and August 2011, for small groups of girls aged 13－16
years, not only from Canada but also other parts of the world.
