🌞 Looking for something fun for your child this week? 🌞

Our Farm Adventure Camp still has a few openings, and for families who aren't ready to commit to a full week, we're now offering single-day camp options!

🐴 Tuesday & Friday are horseback riding days!

The other days include a mix of:
🏹 Archery
🌱 Gardening
🐐 Small animal husbandry
🌳 Nature hikes
💦 Creek exploration
🤠 Farm adventures and hands-on learning

Camp runs:
📅 Monday–Friday
⏰ 8:30 AM–12:30 PM
Bring a lunch and drinks. Wear long pants and closed toe shoes.

This is a wonderful opportunity for boys and girls to unplug from screens, spend time outdoors, make new friends, and experience real farm life.

Whether your child joins us for one day or the whole week, they'll leave with dirty shoes, happy memories, and probably a few stories about animals. 😄

Message us for availability and day rates ($100/per day/per person). We'd love to share the farm with your family! 💛🐴🌱

🎉 You asked... and we listened! 🎉

We've had so many families asking for additional Hybrid Camp weeks that we've decided to open TWO MORE WEEKS this summer!

🐴🌱 July 6–10
🐴🌱 July 20–24

Monday–Friday
⏰ 8:30 AM–12:30 PM

Our Hybrid Camp combines the best of both worlds:

🐴 Horseback riding
🏹 Archery
🌱 Gardening
🐐 Farm animals
🌳 Nature exploration
🤠 Roping
💛 And plenty of outdoor adventures!

These camps are perfect for boys and girls who love horses but also want to experience everything else the farm has to offer.

For over 30 years, we've been helping children disconnect from screens and reconnect with animals, nature, and hands-on learning.

Spaces are limited, so if you've been hoping for a Hybrid Camp opening, now is your chance!

We can't wait to share another summer adventure with your children. ☀️🐴🌱

🐴🌿 A Morning at Camp (as told by the animals…) 🌿🐐

The horses noticed it first.
“Campers are coming,” one of them said, flicking an ear toward the driveway.

The goats had already figured it out, of course.
“They always come this time of year,” one said, standing on something it definitely wasn’t supposed to be standing on.
“I call dibs on being brushed first.”

The chickens didn’t say much. They just scattered dramatically, as if something very important was happening.

The barn cats stretched, blinked slowly, and settled in like they had planned this all along.
And then the kids arrive.
Some come ready to ride.
Some come ready to meet every animal on the farm.
And some aren’t quite sure yet… but leave knowing a lot more than when they arrived.
By mid-morning:
• Someone is proudly holding a lead rope for the first time
• Someone is brushing a horse like they’ve done it forever
• Someone is laughing at a goat doing something ridiculous
• And someone is realizing they’re braver than they thought

There’s dirt on shoes.
Hay in places it shouldn’t be.
And stories already forming before lunchtime.
By 12:30, the animals are ready for a break…
…and the kids usually are too 😊
Then it all starts again the next day.
Horse camp.
Farm adventure camp.
Or a little bit of both.
The animals will be ready.
(Especially the goats.)

First week of camp was a blast! Week two starts on Monday - there is room if you'd like to join us.
www.wildewoodfarm.com

Tomorrow begins our 30th year of summer camp at WildeWood Farm, and honestly… I’m just as excited now as I was that very first summer. 💛

From the teacher’s side of camp, the first morning is always my favorite.

Cars pull in carrying children who are equal parts excited and nervous. Some bounce out ready for adventure. Others cling quietly to their parents while trying to decide if the horses are giant and magical… or giant and terrifying. Then someone squeals when they see the animals, and suddenly the whole week begins.

Parents arrive carrying coffee cups, schedules, and the weight of busy lives, trying to decide whether to linger awhile or drop and go. Either option is perfectly fine around here — though if you stay too long, there’s always a chance you may get recruited to help hold ponies or refill water buckets. 😄

One of the things I love most is watching children experience real animals up close for perhaps the very first time. So many kids today know animals mostly through movies, television, or screens. But camp is different. Here they smell the horses, feel fuzzy noses, hear nickers, brush the horses, feed animals, laugh at goats, and discover that living creatures all have personalities, emotions, and stories of their own.

And somewhere during the week, fear turns into confidence. Nervousness turns into pride. Strangers become friends.

Thirty years later, that transformation still feels like magic to me.

And the best part? There is still room in all of our camps! Last-minute campers are always welcome to join the adventure. 🐴💛

🐴🌿 It starts with a simple morning… 🌿🐐

A child steps out of the car, not quite sure what to expect.
The barn smells different.
The animals are bigger up close.

There’s a moment of hesitation.
And then someone says,
“Do you want to help?”

By the end of the morning:
• They’ve brushed a horse
• Walked beside something much bigger than themselves
• Laughed at a goat doing something completely unexpected
• And tried something they weren’t sure they could do

They leave a little tired.
A little dirty.
And a lot more confident.
And the next day… they can’t wait to come back.
Some come for the horses.
Some come for the animals.
Some discover they love both.
Horse camp.
Farm adventure camp.
Or a little bit of each.
We’ll be here either way 💛

🌿🐴 What Parents Notice About Camp… 🐴🌿

At drop-off, it’s a mix of excitement and uncertainty.
Some kids jump out of the car ready to go.
Some stay a little closer, taking it all in.

And then you pick them up a few hours later.
And something is different.
They’re tired—
but it’s the good kind of tired.

They start talking before they even get in the car:
“I got to brush the horse!”
“A goat tried to climb on everything!”
“I did it by myself!”

And as the week goes on, you notice even more:
• They’re more confident
• They’re more responsible
• They’re proud of what they’re learning
It’s not just that they’re riding.

They’re:
• Learning patience
• Listening and following through
• Trying again when something feels hard
• Becoming part of something
And maybe the best part?
They’re outside.
They’re moving.
They’re connected—to animals, to people, and to something real.

By the end of the week, they’re already asking:
“Can I come back?”

By popular demand, we are adding an additional 4 weeks to our Pony Pal Adventures at WildeWood Farm.

🐴✨ Little Riders – Pony Adventures at WildeWood (Ages 2–4) ✨🐴
We’re excited to offer something special for our youngest horse lovers.

At WildeWood Farm, we’re often asked about lessons for toddlers. The truth is — at ages 2–4, children aren’t quite ready for traditional riding lessons…

But they are ready for something just as important.
💛 A gentle, confidence-building introduction to horses
🌟 Little Riders – Pony Adventures at WildeWood is a 4-week “parent & me” experience designed to help young children feel comfortable, calm, and confident around horses — all in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Each week includes a fun theme to spark imagination while learning real horsemanship:
🤠 Cowboy / Cowgirl Week
👑 Prince / Princess Week
🦸 Superhero Week
🌟 “From Oops to Awesome” Celebration Week

Each 1-hour class includes:
🐎 meeting and interacting with a gentle horse
🧽 simple grooming and hands-on learning
👣 safe leading and participation
🐴 short, quiet pony rides (based on readiness)

This is not a riding lesson program.
It is a highly guided, hands-on introduction to horses, requiring close instruction and parent involvement to create a safe and positive experience for each child.

💛 Parent participation is required
📅 4-week session (once per week)
Thursdays May 14-June 4 at 10:30 AM

⏰ 1 hour per class
👶 Ages 2–4
💲 Cost: $290 for the 4-week session

Spots will be very limited to 6 pairs to keep the experience calm, safe, and personal.
If you’ve been waiting for the right way to introduce your child to horses…
This is it. ❤️
📩 Message us for details or to reserve your spot.
