Campers in grades 1-6 can explore science in a fun, interactive way. Our quality hands-on experiments, innovative curriculum and professional instructors bring your child’s understanding of science to the next level. Campers will compete in extreme sports challenges; build a detective kit and use cutting edge forensics science; thrill to building racers, planes and a gigantic roller coaster and launch the High Flyer rocket into the stratosphere. Each topic runs for five days. Full-day and half-day options available. Multi-topic discount if two or more Camps are purchased together. Visit the Science Adventures website or call 1.888.458.1812 to enroll!

The Whole Horse Place's Beginning Horsemanship program is a hands on, whole horse experience focused on safety. Participants start with safely approaching and haltering the horse, and proceed through all aspects of horsemanship, from controlling the horse on the ground to balance exercises while riding. Understanding horse behavior is fundamental in handling horses and is a large component of this program. Basic horse health, such as colic, thrush, and environmental factors are also covered. Equine Science and Horses in History are covered as well.

The Whole Horse Place is a unique horse experience for the average person with little or no horse exposure. Our approach to teaching horsemanship begins and ends with safety first. Teaching you to be in control of your horse at all times is our primary concern, and from that foundation all other aspects of horsemanship will be successful.

Six children maximum, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 9:30am- 3:30pm. (Times can be flexible based on parents' schedules). $150 a week. Price includes a trail permit for trail riding. Approximate age guidelines: 6 years to 17 years.

Bring a LARGE sack lunch, water bottle, and dress in layers for the weather. We will be riding and hiking, so tennis shoes are encouraged. Helmets and boots are provided if you do not have your own.

You will see what owning a horse is like, from stall cleaning, grooming, feeding, ground work and riding.

Boy Scouts can earn the Horsemanship Merit Badge with our program, and we also have a limited number of Girl Scout Horse Fan and Horse Lover Badges.

Willows Edge Farm offers daily or weekly adventures at Farm Life Camp just outside of Seattle WA. Our small group of kids everyday allows us to really focus on the details. We start out by feeding and cleaning the animals and then the day opens up - we have a variety of activities that we do including gardening, learning the where and why of the different animals - also called animal husbandry - and we also have a horseback riding lesson for each child where we teach starting from the basics of English riding.
