Love horse? Spend a week at Ohio’s largest horse camp. With 160 horses and almost 50 years of horse camping experience, we know camp and we know horses. Horseback adventure and farm fun await you this summer at Marmon Valley Ministries. Develop skills in horsemanship as you spend every morning with your own horse during a week on the farm. You’ll enjoy grooming and saddling your horse, trail riding in the woods, western or English arena lessons at your riding level, and a daily horse science class to round off your knowledge. You’ll love playing with our cute miniature horses, too! Other activities include rock wall; the challenge course, archery, kayaking and swimming and more. The heart of our summer program is the mature counselors who model a passion for Jesus Christ. They lead campers through experiences in team building, character development and other areas of spiritual growth using the very activities the kids love! Horsemanship camps are available for children ages 7-17. Marmon Valley Ministries is a non-denominational Christian camp, in west-central Ohio committed to providing excellent horsemanship camps that help kids to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

Children come away with a twinkle in the eye that reflects both the intrinsic satisfaction and fun of farm life. Participants live the meaning of the agricultural revolution and come away knowing what makes civilization possible. As Montessori teachers the Barkers have designed the farm so that children have access to its very essence. Animal lovers do well as do also children who are comfortable with mixed ages. The 42 acre farm is located in the heart of the world's largest settlement of Amish people although the Barkers are not Amish themselves and the experience has no religious affiliation. The smaller more comprehensible scale of life in this neighborhood makes it the perfect setting. Things are just the right size. The consistency yet variety in the experience brings children back year after year. Fun is basic to farm life but satisfaction is the lingering result.
