ACTIVITIES
There’s so much to do here! With over 30 different activities to choose from, girls never run out of new things to try. Our program is entirely elective based – campers can choose to do the activities that interest them! On the first night of each session girls select four elective activities for the week. Girls get to choose new elective activities each week.
WATERFRONT
There’s so many things to do on our beautiful Mohawk Pond! Since we have the pond to ourselves, girls can explore tons of different water activities. During free time, girls can go swimming, play on our floating inflatables, build a sand castle, or just take in the view.

FARM & HORSEBACK
The stables are a popular place to be! Come early in the morning to help bring the horses in from the fields, and learn how to groom them. If you’ve never ridden a horse, or if you’ve been riding all your life, sign up for riding lessons—all skill levels welcome.
ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
Join our “Farm” class and learn about animal husbandry—here’s your chance to feed a chicken, take a goat for a walk or just learn about taking care of the animals.
RIDING LESSONS
All campers are welcome to participate in riding lessons, available for an additional weekly fee.
The goal of our riding program is twofold. We want campers to be safe, and we want them to have fun as they ride. Horseback riding can be a lifelong form of exercise and enjoyment. We aim to introduce this sport in a way that will nurture a girl’s interest in horses. Riding lessons are taught in the English Hunt Seat style.
We provide hard hats with safety straps and all other safety equipment. Boots are available if needed, but please bring a pair of boots or shoes with heels if you have them. This is important for proper foot placement in the stirrup. Please label all riding apparel. Our stable area consists of a barn specially designed for our riding and farm program, a paddock area, two riding rings, fieldwork area, and a small brook. Small group lessons are taught in riding rings with three instructors for each twelve students.
HORSE GROOMING & FEEDING
Grooming and feeding of the horses are not required parts of our riding classes. However, those girls who wish to assist with these aspects of horse care are welcome to do so. They merely need to speak to the Riding Director to express their interest. The Director will schedule a time when the girls can work along side the riding staff as they care for the animals. Campers are also invited to become involved in animal care through our farm program, which includes sheep and fowl.
