CAMP FACILITIES: Wood's Edge Equestrian Center boasts a state-of-the-art 22 stall barn with an indoor arena, a large outdoor arena and beautiful wooded trails. The facility is fully handicap accessible.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: We believe that with the help of horses, doors can be opened that lead to success both in the barn and in life. Miracles happen every day as balance increases, muscles strengthen, hearts soften, friendships develop and self-confidence shines.
We also believe in a hands-on approach to learning and encourage our campers to be involved in all aspects of horsemanship. In addition to riding, we know that grooming, saddling, feeding the horses and barn chores all offer unique opportunities for learning and growth as equestrians, but there are also many physical and mental benefits to these activities as well. We encourage independence in a safe, inclusive environment where individual needs and goals are our primary consideration.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Belinda Engler, director, has been a Special Education teacher for 19 years. She believes that teaching youth to work around a horse safely is always the first step in a successful learning experience. Keeping lessons fun by teaching a skill and then playing games that use that skill has been a rewarding format.
A high rider/wrangler ratio (2/1) and limited number of campers ( just 6 per camp) keeps accidents to a minimum.
Grooming and groundwork(leading, training) are essential. If the horse obeys the camper when he/she is on the ground, then there is a good chance that the horse will obey him/her when he/she is on their back.
Riders begin to ride bareback to develop their balance and progress to a saddle as they show ability to control the horse in the arena at a walk and trot.
Both English and Western saddle/styles are offered.
Campers learn to saddle and bridle their own horse.
