Camps

Our Philosophy

We proudly offer some of the most fun camp experiences to be had.  With limited numbers, adult facilitation and inclusive activities, our camps are even fun for those who "hate camp". Read below to find out why!

Camp Highlights

Small Groups

Safe, Gentle Horses

Safe, Gentle Horses

Our camps are always small- 6-8 children maximum. This allows for lots individual attention and plenty of supervision to avoid any targeting or bullying. Kids are kids, they require supervision!

Safe, Gentle Horses

Safe, Gentle Horses

Safe, Gentle Horses

We ensure that all of our horses are safe to be around. That means they are well trained, but more importantly, they're well treated. Happy horses make for fun camp experiences. We often spend time in the field with the horses during camp.

Adult Facilitation

Adult Facilitation

Many camps are run by teens and young adults. At New Leaf Farms, Melissa facilitates the camps. Using her 20+ years of social work and special needs parenting expertise, Melissa ensures everyone is getting their needs met.

Lots of Movement

Unstructured Learning

Adult Facilitation

It's easy to get bored! We make sure kids always have outlets for their energy. Yoga balls, riding barrels and games are always available to keep everyone feeling regulated.

Space and Choices

Unstructured Learning

Unstructured Learning

Due to our small camp sizes, we encourage kids to make decisions that suit them. If they're hot, grab some water. If they're not into the current activity, they can cuddle a cat or do a chore or visit the guinea pigs. And you never have to ask to use the washroom! We encourage safe, responsible self-regulation.

Unstructured Learning

We do our learning through experiences, not worksheets. Kids will take an active role in running the farm and taking care of the animals. Every day they will feed, clean up after and work with the horses, goats, chickens, guinea pigs and cats.

Activities for Camp

 We welcome your children ages 8+ to join us for a fun, inclusive week of horse camp. Located in Limehouse ON, our farm is a paradise for children who love animals. Our gentle horses, goats, chickens and cats will provide days of fun and learning. GP Manor houses our crazy guinea pigs that children can visit with throughout the day. We take on a holistic approach, letting kids do what they like best, playing! They will finish each day sweaty, dirty and full of stories. Our indoor arena keeps us out of the sun and rain. We ride and do groundwork with the horses, learning about their communication, care and handling. Children will learn how to be safe around horses and gain skills whether they're practiced horse-people or brand new to the equine world. We take a horse-first approach at New Leaf Farms, so our treatment of the horses is ethical and kind. All camps are facilitated by Melissa, who ensures everyone is included and having fun.
