When people speak of summer camp programs for children, they invariably make reference to camps with sizable enrollments and an abundance of scheduled activities. While a goodly number of camps fall into that category, smaller camps do exist and are doing remarkably well by their campers. With a limited enrollment and a more specialized program, a small camp is able to afford each camper the best possible opportunity to excel in the activities it offers. This advantage, added to the spirit of togetherness that prevails in a small group of like-minded children, quickly explains why discerning families are finding smaller camp programs both appealing and valuable.
The Good Fortune of Being a Small Camp
With four main activities and five dozen campers, Road's End Farm enjoys the good fortune of being a small camp, pure and simple. Since first becoming a horsemanship camp in 1958, Road's End Farm has been providing girls with fun-filled summertime experiences that are cherished by all. Far more than a mere respite from the rigors and routine of the school year, a stay at the Farm enables girls to develop naturally in worthwhile directions not usually possible in contemporary classrooms and homes.
The Days of Summer Amble Pleasantly By
In keeping with tradition at Road's End Farm, the days of summer amble pleasantly by while the campers befriend the horses and learn about riding, swimming, and canoeing. The lifestyle is congenial and down-to-earth and campers soon realize the sense of belonging that comes from being on a working horse farm, where everyone counts and in turn is counted upon. With the undisturbed beauty of Mother Nature in the background, the campers nurture the close-knit friendships that tie one camp season to another with laughter and youthful exuberance.
