2PARDS SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMS
Inclusive Summer Youth Camp is open to children between the ages of 6 (as of January 1 of camp year) and 14, of all abilities. Campers spend each day learning the basics of horse care and horsemanship through activities, lessons and hands-on learning. Youth Leadership activities are also incorporated into the daily camp schedule along with games, group activities and crafts.

Little Pony Motricity Camp is set up with fun activities that incorporate fundamental skills in early ages of development while working with our miniature ponies. Riding, groundwork and horse care skills are taught
Little Pony Motricity Summer Camp is offered to children 3 (as of January 1, 2022) to 7 years of age to a maximum height of 48 inches and 65 lbs.

EQUESTRIAN SKILLS DEVELOPMENT CAMP FOR ADULT THERAPEUTIC RIDERS is 4 days filled with fun and learning for campers aged 15+ with a clinical diagnosis. Campers experience the social, recreational and physical benefits that come with an immersion in PARDS’ therapeutic programs. PARDS provides an instructor, a horse and all the necessary tack and riding/driving equipment.
During their day at camp, participants will enjoy activities including riding lessons, cart driving lessons and stable management.
Community Spotlight
Thank You!
PARDS would like to thank Kevin Szakacs of
Hi-Tech Business Systems for his generous donation of a lap top to be used by our Community Engagement Coordinator, Shirley McDonald. Having information at hand while out in the community offers Shirley the ability to access PARDS data base and literature quickly for potential donors and sponsors. Being out in the community, with a computer allows Shirley to make quick notes and send emails in a timely manner. Thank you so much for helping us increase our efficiency in connecting more supporters to the life enhancing programs our riders rely on.
Thank you!
We would like to thank Country Pump Out Ltd, for their ongoing support and maintenance of our septic system. They were out recently to clear out our drains, clearing any winter debris and inspecting the system to ensure it's efficient use throughout the year.
Volunteer Spotlight
PARDS is fortunate to have tremendous community support in volunteers. We are offered over 15,000 hours yearly of time, something given so unselfishly of our volunteers. This enables us to run our lessons with barn and lesson support, honour commitments to receive honorariums, facility maintenance support, program support and PARDS board members. These volunteer hours enable us to utilize the talents of others and keep our staffing costs efficient to allow us to offer programs at a substantial subsidy to our therapeutic riders.
We can't do it without you, THANK YOU!
