This summer our Stonehaven campers will have the
opportunity to choose from many different camp weeks as we have combined
some of our Stonehaven Camps with 3 day Brownie and 4 day Girl Scout
camps.
For the past 10 years, Stonehaven Farms has been the home of the Girl Scouts
of Maumee Valley Council's "Horsin' Around" Summer Day Camps and we
believe by combining some of our camp weeks, we can accommodate many
more families and their busy schedules. Our Day Camp program is designed to teach
first time riders through advanced riders how to safely and knowledgeably work
around and ride horses and ponies. We instill in our students a solid
foundation of riding basics. Our curriculum includes lots of hands on
experience, and informal presentations from our local veterinarian, equine
dentist, and farrier. In addition, we add arts and crafts, games, and
sports activities for all our campers. During the past 12 years,
according to our over 600 campers, the only complaint has been that the time
goes by too quickly!
If you wish to apply for the Day Camp Program,
you must complete and return the application
forms with a $75 deposit. With limited space on a first come, first
serve basis, our camps do fill up quickly. For more information, call us
at 734-854-5825.
