Charmingfare Farm Summer Camp

At Charmingfare Farm Summer Camp, children ages 7 to 16 enjoy a memorable and educational week immersed in animal care and horsemanship. The program offers daily interactive experiences with a variety of horses including miniature horses and draft horses, where campers learn grooming, riding, and barn management through practical, hands-on activities, including riding sessions held four times a week and a creative barn-building project. In addition to the horsemanship program, campers participate in an ‘Animal Edventure’ that provides behind-the-scenes access to caring for a range of wildlife, from mountain lions to black bears. This camp teaches fundamental animal husbandry, training, and feeding techniques, alongside fun activities like llama treks and wildlife games. The camp focuses on fostering self-esteem, responsibility, and social skills within a safe, friendly, and educational setting. Adult counselors maintain a low camper-to-staff ratio to ensure personalized attention and safety. Campers should come prepared with suitable clothing and gear, including protective riding footwear and helmets, which are provided if needed. Overall, Charmingfare Farm Summer Camp delivers a safe, fun, and enriching experience that cultivates a passion for animals and adventure.
