Horsemanship Camp

The goal of the Camp Resolute Horsemanship Camp is to teach participants the fundamentals of riding while developing skills, coordination and confidence. The equestrian staff is comprised of experienced horse lovers, eager to share their knowledge with campers. This week-long horse program is an adventure-filled experience. Highlights include horseback riding (of course), swimming, rifle shooting, campfires and much, much more. Scouts will earn the Horsemanship Merit Badge.

Camp Resolute Horsemanship Camp teaches you the responsibility of managing the daily care of your horse. Riding lessons by top professional instructors will develop balance and coordination. Mastering control over a 1,000 pound animal will definitely improve self confidence. The daily responsibility of chores will teach you the skills needed to care and manage your own horse. Some of the week's activities include: learning about feed, how to groom a horse, how to longe a horse, how young horses are trained, how horses are judged in competitions, how to massage and stretch a horse, how to clean and condition saddles and bridles, how to clean a stall, how to bathe a horse, how to clip a horse for a show, and everything else involved in complete horse care and showing.

The grand finale of the week is a horse show where you will be the participant.

This unique program is limited to 8 Scouts on a first-come, first-served basis. Must be at least 13 years old.
