FARM, NATURE & HORSEBACK RIDING DAY CAMP
Do you have fond memories of your childhood? Relaxed days spent in
(mostly) unstructured outdoor play; the freedom to discover things on
your own; taking your time to explore the world around you?
Our children are so often overscheduled and surrounded by stress
in today's busy,hectic world. Prairie Winds Nature Farm offers an
alternative:a safe haven, a relaxed atmosphere and a space to let them
learn naturally. Here, they can: run around in the woods, ride a
pony, take prairie hikes, lie on their backs and watch the clouds, and
just be kids. A variety of activities are available: you and your
child decide or let us guide them.
For an extra $5/hour, children can be dropped off earlier and/or stay
later.
A $10 discount is available for siblings -- each child from the same
family that registers for camp is eligible for $10 off their camp
session. This does NOT include single day registrations. Just enter
"SIBLING" when prompted for the promotional code during the
registration process. If you'd like to donate your discount back to
the farm, then simply omit entering the promotional code. Scholarships
are also available if needed. All donations to the farm go to our

"Riding horses was a blast! We got a lesson and then a real trail ride
almost every morning. When we weren't riding or grooming the ponies we
got to explore the whole farm with a buddy- making sure to check in
with an adult every hour or so. When it rained we got to play in the
hayloft. We worked in the garden, picked blackberries, fed and led
goats, held chickens & mice, and raced each other to the rope swing.
And when it was really hot we got to swim in the pond if it was OK
with our parents. A bunch of kids spent almost the whole day building
a house out of sticks! Others worked on their PhD (post hole digging)
degrees ;).
