2010 CAMPS:
WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER
If your child is anything like mine, they'll wave and point to every four-legged, furry animal with a long tail within a 100 yard radius of wherever we happen to be. In fact, I think the animals seek my son out as much as he seeks them...if for no other reason than to watch with distinct pleasure and amusement as he does his best imitation of a moo, bark, or whinny!
These moments ensure to create a lifetime of memories, reminding us of the absolute simple pleasure that animals can bring into a young person's life.
This is what AAES Camp is all about.

WHY AAES?
The goal of the AAES Camps is threefold:
-
To
provide each and every camper with a positive, supportive, and
enriching experience filled with the two best things in life:
friendship and laughter.
-
Through
the relationship between the camper and his/her horse, foster each
child’s social and emotional development by honing the skills –
respect, empathy, and the desire to help others – necessary to become a
successful and productive young adult
-
To
provide our young and aspiring horse enthusiasts with safe,
constructive instruction of the equestrian sport. The world-class
equestrian fundamentals your child will learn here in the classical
principles of dressage and jumping will serve them throughout their
riding career.

DAILY ACTIVITIES
-
Mornings are spent in the barn, getting a taste of what life is like caring for horses! While they rotate through the arena having their private riding lesson, the group in the barn learns about everything from basic barn safety to the horse’s living environment to the horse’s breeds, colors and conformation. Each camper will learn to groom and tack up their horse, untack, feed the horses, and complete basic barn chores.
-
Lunches are outside, either under the big pine tree or by the creek that lazily strings itself through our 116-acre property – weather permitting, of course.
-
Afternoons are filled with additional ride time, seat exercises on horse back, guest speakers, games, arts & crafts, and team-building activities.
The weekly lesson plans include not only learning about the horses and all things barn related, but also on what the rider must do to be a good partner for the horse – things like physical fitness, developing flexibility and core strength, and why it’s important to eat healthy and treat your body well. On some afternoons throughout the week, the campers will participate in exercise classes and age-appropriate discussions on nutrition and how to become a physically-fit athlete. The week as a whole is spent preparing for the Friday afternoon show - the highlight of the week- during which the campers will perform their newly acquired equestrian skills for their parents, family, and friends.
