LEARN Aiken Foundation, Inc. Think tutoring with horses.

We have been extremely busy this summer. We are getting ready for our fall programming and bringing our new greenhouse to life. We are excited to add education into our greenhouse programming.

Our greenhouse program will incorporate journals, lists, research, and science skills into a farm to table program.

We are just starting to build the planter boxes and we still need to fill them with soil and run water drip lines. We are getting close!

We have had construction going on here at LEARN Aiken since late December. Then we had to let our grass grow before we could let the horses back out in order to graze. We love seeing the big boys back out in the paddock. ❤️

It’s been a while since Leonard and I have had a chance to work on his skills. If we go out into the world, he might need to climb steps, so that is something that we practice at home.

Although he can easily jump a small obstacle (and just had when mom didn’t have the camera ready), Leonard decided to use a different strategy for the small jump.

☀️🐴 Summer Camp Week Two Wrap-Up! 🐴☀️

Another incredible week of Summer Camp is in the books! Our campers spent the week building confidence, learning horsemanship skills, creating lasting friendships, and making unforgettable memories with our amazing horses.

A thank you to our four special guests that come throughout the week! Savannah River Ecology Laboratory and Hitchcock Woods Foundations for sharing the wonders of nature with our campers. To LEARN Aiken Foundation and Deana Hamel for providing an engaging and educational experience through reading! We are so grateful for community partners who help make each week of camp even more meaningful.

Thank you to our dedicated volunteers, staff, and incredible horses for making every smile, every achievement, and every adventure possible. We can't wait to see what the next week brings!

We are so excited to share another special addition to LEARN Aiken Foundation — our new greenhouse! 🌱🌿

This greenhouse will become a hands-on learning space where children can discover the importance of growing healthy food, caring for gardens, and understanding the connection between farm-to-table living and everyday life.

Through this new opportunity, students will be able to learn lessons in science, nutrition, responsibility, sustainability, and rural farm life in a fun and engaging way. We believe some of the best learning happens when children can experience it with their own hands — planting seeds, watching growth take place, and seeing the value of hard work and God’s creation all around them.

At LEARN Aiken, we are passionate about creating meaningful educational experiences outside of the traditional classroom. Our greenhouse will help us continue building a peaceful and enriching environment where children can grow academically, emotionally, and spiritually.

We are incredibly thankful for everyone who continues to support the mission and vision of LEARN Aiken Foundation. We cannot wait to see all the learning, growth, and memories that will take place here. 💚

We are so excited to share a huge milestone for LEARN Aiken Foundation — our new arena is officially up and running! 🎉🐴

This project has been months in the making, and it truly took a village. A special thank you goes out to Cesar De Leon with Grading and More by C De Leon for the incredible work he did preparing the land. The difference in elevation across the arena was nearly 20 feet, and his expertise in clearing and grading made what seemed impossible… possible.

After all the groundwork was complete, We rolled up our sleeves and put the horse arena up. Seeing it now fully functional is something we’re incredibly proud of.

Most importantly, we give all the glory and thanks to God for what He continues to do through this journey. His guidance, provision, and faithfulness have led us every step of the way as we serve the children and families in our community through this ministry.

This new space is going to make a lasting impact. It will allow us to welcome more children into our program and give them a larger, safer environment to work alongside our miniature horses. Through equine-assisted learning, these kids will continue building confidence while strengthening their reading, writing, math, and social skills in a hands-on, meaningful way.

Beyond our educational programs, the arena also opens the door for new opportunities to support our mission. We’re looking forward to hosting round robin roping tournaments as fundraisers, and to creating special experiences where first responders can come out, connect with horses, and enjoy time in the arena.

We are planning our first fundraiser event for Fall 2026 — and we can’t wait to share more details soon!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has supported LEARN Aiken. This arena represents growth, opportunity, and the continued impact we can make in the lives of children in our community.

Stay tuned — the best is yet to come. ❤️🐎
