At Camp Warren we believe that a session of camp can make a profound impact on a young person’s life. The Summer of 2012 is shaping up to be another fantastic year. I hope you’ll join us for at least one of our unique single-gender camp sessions.

While at Warren, campers have the opportunity to live independently in a supportive community where they can: meet new friends, try new activities, explore the natural world and gain self-reliance. Activities are designed with skill progression in mind but in a non-competitive atmosphere. For over 80 years, our well trained, energetic staff team (most of whom were once campers themselves) has provided the environment to foster this growth.

Everyone will get the book "Happy Horsemanship" which we will be using as beginner's handbook. Also included is a camp T-Shirt.

We are a real farm, so we also have chickens, turkies, cows and even a couple of pigs. There is also a hay swing in our dairy barn to swing on and a few cats to pet.

The camp will be taught and completely supervised by the Owner/Instructor/Trainer of Ox Yoke Stables, Natalie Kerber. She has 33 years of experience working with horses and is a graduate of the "Horse Care & Stable Operation program thru Hennepin Technical Centers.

There will be experienced adult &/or mature high school or college assistants to help with the participants and their horses.

During the five-day camp, campers are instructed in riding fundamentals. Campers learn horse care, nutrition, safety and the responsibilities of caring for, riding and owning a horse.

Students learn safety while on and off the horse. In addition to a daily riding lesson, the day campers care for their horses hands on by grooming, watering and feeding. Each Skyrock camper learns to halter, lead, groom, saddle and bridle a horse as well as how to bathe and safely graze a horse.

When possible, Skyrock campers watch the farrier and veterinarian at work, take a field trip, or best of all with nature willing, watch one of our mares deliver her foal. There is always something fun and new to learn each day.
