Preparing for Camp
To help eliminate lost and found we always encourage labeling your camper’s belongings. One of our favorite ways to do this is with Mabels Labels! They’re waterproof & durable name labels to ensure your items return home. We appreciate you properly labeling all camp items!

Why is Summer Camp Important?
The Camp Experience Enriches Lives and Changes the World.
Camp provides children with a community of caring adults who nurture experiential education, resulting in self-respect and appreciation for human value. All of the outcomes — self-identity, self-worth, self-esteem, leadership, and self-respect — build personal competencies. These personal competencies are reflected in the camp community’s four “C’s”: compassion, contribution, commitment, and character! These qualities will help build a successful nation and a civil society.
Horse Talk
Prepared to Trot?
If you’ve never ridden a horse before, it’s common to go too far in one direction or the other. You’re either scared silly (“That animal is HUGE!”), or feel like it’s going to be a breeze (“Tallyho, Silver!”). After all, the horse is doing all the work, right?
Learning to ride a horse can look very complicated, and there is a lot that goes into riding well. But breaking down each element into baby steps helps riders of all ages become proficient equestrians.
The Certified Horsemanship Association has some great resources to help prepare you for your first ride!

Coloring Craze
The BR herd has loved all of the fan mail they have received in the past! As we gear up for summer, we need to make sure the horses are ready too. Show them your love and remind them how excited you are to see them by drawing them some great pictures. They love seeing what you can create!
