Summer Day Camp

For several years Shadowlane has offered day camps every March break and a summer camp in July and August. These camps give children that are interested in horses, a chance to get hands on with the horses and the day to day activities of a riding stable. Each day the children will have a riding lesson, play games, create arts and crafts, and learn how horses are cared for. Their education includes different aspects of stable management, what horses eat, and about the equipment they wear. Our camps are a safe, fun, and educational way to experience horses. All levels are welcome, from beginner to advanced; there will be 1 chaperon for every 4 campers.

FAMILY CAMPS

Family camp was introduced in 2010 and was a tremendous success. This coming season we will be offering 2 one night family camps in June.  Bring your family and come enjoy some “horsing around” fun on the Ranch!  Provide your own tent or camp out in one of our cabins which are available on a first registration basis.

Enjoy some trail riding, swimming, a hayride, some outdoor fun and games, a campfire and / or movie in the barn.  Meals are included: barbecue dinner of hotdogs and hamburgers on the Saturday night and a pancake breakfast on the Sunday morning.

The family camps will run on Saturday June 11 @ 1PM until Sunday June 12 @ 11am and Saturday June 25 @ 1PM until Sunday June 26 @ 11AM. The cost per person is $80 + HST.  This includes some horse instruction followed by a 1 hour trail ride (or hand-led pony ride for those under the age of 6) For an additional trail ride – add $30/person.  To reserve your family vacation on the ranch, please complete the FAMILY CAMP REGISTRATION FORM FOR 2011 and send it along with a deposit of $100 to the Horseshoe J Dude Ranch.

SUMMER CAMPS

The ranch offers 7 different week long camp experiences for girls and boys ages 5 – 19 years. We also offer “mini camps” for those not sure about spending a whole week.  These 2 night camps are great introduction camps. .

Our “dudes” are given a choice to sleep in a cabin or get the full camp experience and sleep in one of the Conestoga covered wagons.

The camps are limited to a maximum of 25 “dudes” per session thereby allowing for maximum personal attention.  Each “dude” is assigned their own horse for their stay on the ranch.  Our camp program revolves around the horses.  The “dudes” learn basic horsemanship, grooming, saddling, and caring for their horse.  Along with the many hours spent on the beautiful trails the “dudes” participate in a complete camp program of swimming, hayrides, campfires, skit night, movie night, barn parties, outdoor games, cook-outs, and much more.  Our new indoor riding arena will be a great addition to camps for some lessons and indoor riding in case of rain.

Horse camps at the ranch have been creating many fond memories over the past 50+ years.

Let us know where you plan to go this summer and who you would suggest to newbies, intermediate and even adult riders.  You do not need to login to leave a comment.

Fun, educational, great confidence builder!

Coming to camp can be so much more than just going to a barn; it’s a realization that farm work can be fun but also a lot of work! A lot of children dream of having a farm or a horse or just a cat or a dog, and what a better way to get a taste of reality when enrolled in the summer camp program. Team up with other interested children, visit with the animals & learn about how to take care of all the animals on the farm. Learn to groom horses, saddle, take care of them, feed them, ride and learn more about farm life, the animals, and about the food we eat. Every day will be filled with fun and different enjoyable events like farm games, collecting eggs, crafts, roping, archery, treasure hunts, sing-a-longs, skits, swimming, movies & hayrides! Not all camps offer archery and swimming due to age appropriate safety concerns. Over the years hundreds of children have come through the Lazee G Ranch barn door, we would love to work with your child, if you let us.

Funny Farm Camp

Summer is a time for all kids to make memories. It’s the best time of the year full of exploration, adventure and opportunities. Our camps are inclusive serving children from all walks of life, developmental, social and behavioural abilities, income levels and family makeup together. This non-stigmatizing, integrative approach sends the message that all kids are special, able and welcome on the farm.

We believe every child deserves a chance to come to camp. However, many children and families don’t have the means or financial resources to provide the opportunity of a lifetime so their child can gain the awesome life experiences that our camp provides. We ask for all attending to pay what they can, and those supporting to dig deep and help make camp happen for every camper. Summer more than any other time of the year has the potential to be that life changing time, where memories are made that could last an eternity.

“Every kid deserves Farm Camp” is an initiative to provide all kids that want to come to the Farm an opportunity to explore animals, life skills and choice making that will change them forever.

Camp Funny Farm 2010

Weekly sessions all summer; Ages 6-12

Christian Day Camp focus this year: -IGNITE -

Reaching kids to ignite their faith

Intense praise and prayer sessions spark kids into thinking, feeling and acting towards social justice!
