Description

          The Community Fund for America dba The Farmhouse Center, School and Stables, & The Farmhouse School, is a 501c3 non-profit organization. The Farmhouse Center & Stables are situated on 90 acres of beautiful rolling hills and meadows in Colchester, Vermont.


          The Farmhouse Center offers Summer Day Camps with 1 to 10 week sessions as well as Adult education and job/training vocational programs, Saturday Horsemanship Training and Riding Classes, and Camping Retreats (available in the summer of 2009). We are in the process of building an indoor driving & riding facility will be opening in the spring of 2010. Reservations are now being accepted for boarding & training. We will be the PREMIERE DRIVING ACADEMY IN THE NORTHEAST!!!!


          The Farm House School focuses on resources provided from horses and the environment to teach life skill changes. Whether it be in the art of equestrain riding or many of the other activities.


          The Farmhouse Center’s stables are home to approximately 16 horses, six of which were adopted through the Premarin PMU (Pregnant Mare’s Urine) Rescue. All the horses are employed in providing therapy and experiential learning to the students. We have two miniature horses for al toddler program for the ages of 3- 6. The Camp is offered all summer, and during school breaks. Scholarships are available.


          Horses have a natural healing power that has been proven effective in physical, mental, and emotional therapy. The staff at the Farmhouse Center often sees marked changes in a people just from them spending some simple, quiet time alone with a horse. The horses continually provide ample opportunity for students to learn multiple levels of communication through touch, body language, and vocal tone all in a safe environment.
