This Week at Thorncroft!

Summer Camp!

Falling on the heels of the new dedication of the Jimmy Moran Indoor Arena, Thorncroft welcomes returning campers and counselors for Summer Camp 2012. In true Thorncroft style, aspiring counselors in training (CITs) arrived last week to work through the camp's schedule and organize the various activities. Some of the CIT's who are participating in this weeks Advanced Riders session shared the typical day for a camper at Thorncroft:

Arenas are filled with horses and riders at 9 AM either developing (for the beginners) or refining ( for the intermediate) their technique . Following the riding lesson, campers cool off in the farms pool or create arts & crafts under the shaded shop.

An example of some arts & crafts riders will enjoy during camp. Personalized horseshoes. 

Today, after the CITs finished their jumping lesson, they started decorating horseshoes that accompany a picture of themselves with their favorite horse. Thorncroft's summer campers are both able bodied and handicapped as well as ranging from beginner to intermediate and beings the second session July 2nd.

The first session of Advanced Riders who will transition into CITs at the start of the second session.
