Summer Camp 2008!

     Each summer the Red Buffalo Ranch offers a summer camp for children ages 8-14, and they range from beginner to advanced riders.  We have five two week sessions, during which campers will be assigned their own horse.  We offer a Full-Day schedule from 8:30 to 4:30.  During camp, campers will learn how to care for and ride their assigned horse.  All students ride two times per day on trail rides or during lessons.  When not on the horses, campers will learn the parts of the horse, saddle, and bridle.  Campers will also have the option of attending two trips while at camp.  One trip is to the New Holland horse auction in Lancaster, PA (parent chaperones attend), and a horseback overnight trip to Green Lane Equestrian Campground on the Perkiomen trail.

          New Holland Trip

     The New Holland horse auction is located in Lancaster, PA.  A number of parent chaperons, counselors, and RBR's owner Mike Marino will attend with the campers.  Campers will eat breakfast at the legendary Shady Maple all you can eat buffet.  Shady Maple is HUGE, and the food is great.  For some campers , this is indeed their favorite part of the trip!  After breakfast it is only a 10 minute drive to the auction site where horses, ponies, donkeys, mules, pigs, and goats are sold.  Outside the auction building all sorts of horse and rider supplies (and trinkets) are for sale.  It is an all day unique excursion that campers will never forget!  

          Green Lane Horseback Overnight

     The Green Lane Horseback is an overnight trip. After feeding in the morning, campers will immediately start to get ready for the ride.  Campers will spend all day riding on the Perkiomen trail until we reach Green Lane we arrive at the campsite. Campers untack their horses and settle them in for the night accompanied by a few of the counselors while Mike and a the rest of the consolers prepare dinner over the fire.  After dinner campers will roast marsh mellows and tell stories by the fire until it is time for bed.  In the morning Mike will make breakfast while the campers feed the horses and begin to get ready for the trek home.  Once they eat, we will get moving back to the ranch.  The Green Lane trip is a blast!  How many other opportunities will your child have to sleep over with a horse?

(All tents, sleeping bags, and other gear will be driven to the campsite before hand, and a packing list will be distributed before the trip)
