Meadowlarke Stables Riding Camp

Meadowlarke Stables Riding Camp @ Meadowlarke South in Mississauga

A little bit of Country in the heart of Mississauga!

Join us for a fun-filled week on the Farm. Campers will participate in everything from Horseback Riding to Horse Care and learning about farm animals.  Being hands on is the best way to build a bond and create confidence.   All our animals are rescued, campers will learn about their amazing stories.

Campers will be divided into groups and rotate through the following activities everyday except Friday which is “Show Day”

• Riding Lesson
  Depending on your level of experience, you will be riding at the walk, trot and canter. If you are in one of the higher levels you may even do some jumping.
• Lunging & Horse Games
  Campers will participate in different activities on the lunge line and games on the horses to aid in balance/confidence
• Horsemanship
  Campers will be hands on with the horses learning how to properly groom, saddle and what is involved in day to day horse care
• Know Your Horse
  Explore horses further learning about horse breeds, colours, habits, behaviors, illness’ etc.
• Know Your World
  Animals, The Environment, Health & You  –  Hands on humane education with our rescued pigs, cows, sheep, goats, ducks, turkeys & chickens, we discuss our values and the lives of animals that are consumed by humans.   We talk about our environment and what we can do to make a positive difference.   These are often lively discussions, and even at a young age campers have strong opinions, which they have an opportunity to voice.
• Games
  Active and team building games where campers spend time playing outside, weather permitting

Friday’s we run a special day.  In the morning campers participate in fun group games, some of which relate to what they have learned throughout the week.  In the afternoon Parents & Friends are invited to see campers dress their horses for a costume contest, after which they will perform a Musical Ride where they will demonstrate the riding skills that they learned.

Bring your own lunch and invite your Family and Friends to come out and watch starting at 1:45 on Friday.

Some weeks will be Theme weeks, where we learn more about a certain farm animal or an environmental topic.   Campers will do crafts and group songs related to the topic.,
