Whew!! That’s a record!

2021 Summer Camp was a smashing success thanks to the volunteers, college intern, staff and hard-working herd who made it an amazing and safe summer for all.

After our revised version of camp last year, we listened to your suggestions and extended the day just a bit (8:30am-12:30pm) so that the campers could get in a short snack time, and also make sure to have a craft/activity each day. This year we also mixed fan favorites (Tie-Dye Tuesday) and some new activities like Horse Costume Parade (a new favorite) and Equestrian Bingo!

The two Advanced Rider weeks also went well with everyone trying their hand at braiding manes. Throughout the week they worked on cantering over rails, jumping small jumps, changing leads, and counting strides.

Every year we like to have at least one college intern to assist with the day-to-day activities of camp. This year we were lucky to have Kylie. Always smiling and super experienced with horses, this year's summer camp intern, Kylie Stangle has now headed back for her senior year at East Stroudsburg University after completing over 140 volunteer hours. Due to the pandemic, she couldn't intern last year, so we were extremely glad she was still up for coming this year.

According to Wikipedia, “It takes a village to raise a child” is an African proverb that means an entire community of people must interact with children for those children to grow in a safe and healthy environment. We think this saying applies to Mane Stream Summer Camp too. When the Camp Director, Camp Administrator, 4 Instructors, 1 Intern, and dozens of volunteers are all working together it shows on all the smiling faces.
