Maple Hill Ranch

Our Pony Pals camp begins tomorrow!! We look forward to seeing everyone! The hours for Pony Pals are 9:00-1:00 M-F. Please pack your child a sack lunch, a separately packed snack, and a reusable water bottle.
CLOSE-TOED SHOES are required.

We have five more openings at our Pony Pals camp! Camp is for beginning riders ages 6+. Although the camp will be horse themed, there will be plenty of outdoor play and exploring the farm. We will complete at least 1 craft per day. Camp maxes out at 20 campers. There are 2 adults & 5 experienced teen riders working the camp. We also have 2 twelve year old volunteers. Send me a message for information on registering!

The first 3 days of our full-time farm camp have been so much fun! These kids have made friends, learned through play, and have encountered many first time experiences!

Our two spring goat kids are ready to be weaned, so we are milking our two does!! I am so excited about this! This is my first time milking, so I am learning, but I will be a pro before too long! We will be milking goats during camp now!
