Since 1952 We Welcomed all to camp Catherine Capers! We started as place where kids could spend a summer with Audrey, changed to a riding camp, then became a horsemanship camp that did many things (including hosting Certified Horsemanship Certification Clinics). Join us for the next phase on the other side of the economic situation the country is in (or if you want an option to get away, do some riding, take a lesson or board a horse at a local riding facility, water ski, swim, boat, play tennis, fish, hike, and enjoy some time on Lake St. Catherine... well, join us and reserve a cottage to rent this summer).
Being a camper was an invitation to join our unique family style horsemanship camp where each camper was encouraged to be important to her daily success, as well as the well being of her horse, the importance of her friends, the camp, and her riding progress. Her was contribution valued as part of the camp's constructive program of fun, work, and horse events. In our past, the campers really take great care of their horses while learning many aspects of horse care and stable management.
Campers enjoyed our multi specialty program which includes riding and swimming and many other activities offered throughout our 90 acre campus. Camp fires, cook outs, day excursions and overnight camping trips are scheduled with differerent types of activites and choices to sign up for throughout the different sessions. Some, but not all campers choose, to compete in either inter-camp or community horse shows.
Recognition of effort made meals an exciting time of sharing. We all enjoyed celebrating a camper's attempts and successes (this added to the camaraderie as we during meals we would sing silly songs and laugh a lot). Official Certificates of Achievement are awarded at a special campfire the night before campers go home. Recognition of a camper's contributions are valued as part of our camp's constructive programs, fun, work, and horses. You should have seen how our campers and our horses would shine!!!
