"Boots, Suits and Brushes" Camp 2012
For kids ages 8 and up
June 18-22: Mon - Thurs: 9 am - 3 pm; Fri:* 9 am - 12 pm $350
* Friday: horse show and art exhibition at 11:00 am!
At the "Boots, Suits and Brushes" Camp, we'll spend the mornings grooming, riding and doing barn chores in a fun, safety-oriented setting as well as having fun with horse-related games and crafts. The kids will also get a chance to play with and learn about our other farm animals, including the chickens, llama and goats (learn how to milk the doe and bottle feed the babies!). Make new friends, learn some new skills and just enjoy the great Colorado outdoors. After working and playing hard all morning in the hot summer sun, we'll shift gears a bit for a fun-filled afternoon. We'll spend two of the afternoons taking a cool dip in a local pool. The other two afternoons will be spent creating beautiful horse-related art with a local artsy horsewoman. On the last day of camp, family and friends will be invited to join us for an end-of-camp horse show and art exhibition!
Price includes a free Briar Gate Farm t-shirt on the first day of camp!
