HORSES AND HOMEWORK

Horses and Homework Camp​​​​
Fall 2020


Thunder Rail is excited to offer a Horse and small farm animal themed Fall camp, with a homework assist program. This is designed to help parents who are working or want their children to have a fun, safe opportunity to grow and learn in a creative and rewarding environment. If your child loves horses and small animals this is the camp for them.

Campers will be scheduled in small pods of 5 campers, and each day will be filled with horse and farm related activities. There will also be a blend of supplemental language arts, math, science, social studies and physical activities. Time will be spent on the campers individual learning plans following their school districts guidelines. Support and guidance will be provided to complete their daily homework assignments and virtual class/teacher meetings. We understand that each child’s needs will be unique and changing. We will strive to meet all their individual needs. As weather permits, we will offer lots of open air activities, and we will create outdoor learning spaces that will be inviting.

A daily journal/planner will be kept to record activities, and be used as an additional source of communication with parents regarding school assignments and requirements.

Fall themed activities include creating a Haunted barn and obstacle course, Spirit of the West, Mounted Target Shooting, Trivia Relay Races, Horses in History, Presidents with Horses, Equine and Nature Photography, Painting, Chalk art, Outdoor games, Badminton, Swimming, Hiking, Cuddle and Care time with Donkey/ Miniature Goats/ Bunnies, Miniature horse cart driving, Horse care/ riding/ exercising and more!!!!
