BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: We offer a summer introduction to equestrian and farm life camps through Columbus Parks and Recreation, Upper Arlington Parks and Recreation, and Wellington Schools - all open registration to the public. Children learn the basics of barn safety, horse handling and care, and basic riding as well as lots of other farm activities like gardening, creeking and old fashioned camp game fun.
SPECIAL NEEDS CAMPERS: We are happy to give referrals to families in need of services for special needs children. There are several therapy barns we like to recommend.
CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Horses/Equestrian, and more.
CAMP LOCATION: We are the only horse farm located inside of I-270. We are tucked away behind Fisher Industrial park, so when you first visit our barn it looks like you've come to the wrong place until you turn up the dirt road, cross the little creek and travel up the hill to the home of the best school ponies around. Please see our website for picture of of equine best friends in the photo gallery section.
CAMP FACILITIES: A large comfortable pole barn with an indoor and outdoor sand arena, plenty of paddocks for turn out and a large pony pasture at the back make horse camp at Liberty a fun time for horses and children alike. We have a small playground and a shed with other farm animals like chickens and goats, and most importantly, lots of wonderful ponies and horses. We also enjoy the creek in the summer time, and lots of nature walks and gardening in our three small garden areas.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Children must be able to follow basic directions and stay with a group in order to participate. Most camps are full day, but there is a mini camp and several half day camps to choose from. We aim to share of love of horses and horsemanship with every child who walks through the door, and all kids leave with a memorable summer experience. Many kids sign up year after year -spaces fill fast, so we hope you will join us!
Please see our webpage for more information.
CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Children and adults who ride with our barn are able to participate and learn about all aspects of barn life - we have many opportunities to learn, from a few hours on a Saturday to observing the vet and farrier at work, there is always work to do and we are always happy to work with budding equestrians to help make dreams come true.
CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Our prices are already as low as we can possibly make them given our costs - please check our rates with other barns - for the high quality of instruction it is the best deal around.
YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: Liberty Farm hosts an excellent riding program for all ages where children and adults learn to ride in safe, structured programs with excellent instruction at all levels. We have holiday parties at the barn for all our terrific riders and host camp outs and bonfires to celebrate successes and camaraderie at the barn, as well as attend horse shows and events and the occasional educational field trips for riders.
