WELCOME Campers & Parents!

We are very excited that you will be joining us for Great Escape Stables Day Camp! Our counselors, horses and pony’s are busy preparing for an awesome summer. Please read the following closely so that you are prepared for a fun and enjoyable week of camp. If you have any questions please contact us before your camp session begins.

Required Forms

All campers must have completed Rider Liability Packet. It must be completely filled out, signed and returned to us either before camp or brought with you on the first day IF you already ride at GES you don’t need to submit another form. However, there is also a copy of our barn rules, which EVERYONE must read over with their camper before attending camp and sign the form at the end. This packet SHOULD be filled out as part of your camp registration.

Pick-up, Drop-off & Parking

There is absolutely no parking on the grass, anywhere!

Campers should be dropped off at the Club House (small building to the right of the house)

Campers will be picked up from the Club House or front yard.

Parking is permitted in front of the Club House or the Driveway in front of the barn.

Please check in/out with a Counselor or C.I.T since we need to always account for all campers.

What to Wear:

Long Pants (breeches, jodhpurs or jeans)

Flat soled Boots with a ½” to 1” Heel

Well fitted top

Long hair must be pulled back

Due to safety; riding is NEVER ALLOWED in bike helmets, skirts, shorts, capri’s, hiking boots, dress shoes/boots or tennis shoes.

What to Bring:

Sun Screen

Shorts/Extra Top

Shoes/Sandals (optional)

Insect Repellant

Water Bottle & Sports drinks

Sack Lunch (fridge & microwave available

Helmet (we can provide if you don’t have one, NO bike helmets)

Swimsuit & Towel

Bag to contain all riders’ items

Sweatshirt

What Not to Bring:

iPods

Video Games

Pocket Knives

Valuables

Cell Phones

All items should be clearly marked with the camper’s name to prevent loss. It is recommended that campers bring a backpack or tote bag to keep their items together. Please do not bring anything of value, as we cannot ensure its safety. Cell phones are to be used in emergencies only and will be confiscated for the day if found otherwise, likewise for iPods.

Before Camp Session Starts:

If a camper has never been to camp at GES and is not a current student at GES it is STRONGLY recommended that they take a 1 hour private lesson well before their camp session.

During Camp:

Campers may be dropped off between 8:45 and 9 am at the Club House. Each morning campers will receive a group-riding lesson. They will also learn different horsemanship skills such as grooming, bathing, tack, vet and blacksmith work, equine behavior, breeds and disciplines. Just before lunch all campers assist in barn responsibility. Lunch is a time for campers to relax; each camper needs to bring a sack lunch. Lunch is an hour. After lunch campers will mount up and participate in some bareback riding, games on horseback or other activity (this may vary for the Young Rider camp). Campers will also have an off horse activity consisting of either a constructive art/craft project, cooking horse treats, horse related games, swimming, reading and scavenger hunts. Jump Clinic activities will be different then regular camp.

After Camp:

Campers are picked up at 4pm. Those who sign up for aftercare are supervised by either a counselor or C.I.T and will have time to help around the barn, watch horsey videos or lessons, read, snack or just hangout in the yard. Campers in after care must be picked up by 5:00 pm and must be enrolled in aftercare at the time of camper registration.

Friday Evening Horse Show

Campers have the option of participating in our Friday evening horse show. Family members are invited to join campers and staff at 4:00 pm. This is a time for parents to meet their camper’s horse/pony and for your camper to show you what they have learned. When you arrive on Friday please gather outside the barn as riders, counselors and horses will be busy in the barn. AFTER the show your camper and they horse/pony will have time to be movie stars and parents can take pictures. The show usually lasts about 15 min. per group and campers are always looking for their parents to come watch them.

Expectations

Campers are expected to behave in a safe, respectful, and responsible manner. Our barn policies are in with the liability forms as well as covered the first day of camp. Please take a minute to go over these rules with your child. They are enforced for the safety of both our riders and our horses. Failure to abide by these rules can result in dismissal from an activity or camp and parents maybe called midday to pick up their child if behavior is considered inappropriate. Children sent home due to inappropriate behavior are not entitled to a refund.

Our counselors practice a Q 1, 2 policy.

When a camper goes against a policy or misbehaves they are first questioned (Q).

Exp. Did you know you’re suppose to walk in the barn?

If the camper is talked to again, they are given a warning.

Exp. I already spoke with you once about walking in the barn and now you are not staying with the group, it’s important that I know where all campers are for your safety. (1)

If the camper is talked to a third time they are reminded of the policy and that they have been talked to twice already. At this point they are taken out of regular activities and placed in a time out/reflection chair for the number of min. as they are old. (2)

If campers are unresponsive to this or behavior becomes consistently disruptive to camp a parent is notified and the camper maybe sent home.

We also do not tolerate campers picking on, making fun of, laughing at or excluding each other for any reason ever. We do our best to keep all campers included in all activates and teach campers tolerance and understanding of each other.

Please contact us if you have any questions.
