She had a blast, it was her favorite camp of the summer!!!Posted on Allison BinkleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter did the beginner summer camp and loved it!Posted on Ashley DeJohnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both of my children absolutely loved their camp experience at Strides of Grace Equestrian and cannot wait to attend again next summer! Not only does the camp offer experiences for multiple age levels seeing as my daughter who was three and son who was seven at the time of the camp were able to participate, it is engaging and informative! My children loved painting with the horses and my son came home so proud and eager to share all of his recently obtained knowledge in regards to horse care that he created a quiz for his family members to take! The director of the camp is kind, responsive, and keeps parents informed with daily pictures and videos that help parents truly experience the camp experience right alongside their child.Posted on Kayla RogersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We enrolled for the summer camp. It was so much fun. Diverse activities . Great experiencePosted on Tanya HandzlikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has wanted to ride since I could remember. The summer camp popped up on Facebook and by chance I clicked it. It was 4 days, but the progress she made was amazing. (Especially for having no prior experience) Cassandra has a wonderful program. From the lessons, to the activities, to the hands on experience. My daughter came home teaching us everything she had learned that day. We can’t wait to start lessons. If you have a horse loving kiddo this is a great intro for them. Oh and if you love updates, she makes sure to send photos and updates you on the day on their communication app!
