MVHR is excited to be offering Routt County kids 6 and up the opportunity to spend Spring Break with horses, with our popular Horse Heroes program FREE of Charge for Routt County Residents, with transportation from Yampa. This camp and the transportation is made possible thanks to a grant from the Yampa Valley Community Foundation.
Families can sign up for up to 2 day FREE of Charge to give multiple families the change to participate. You can waitlist for additional days, and those might become available closer to camp dates. Kids do not need prior horse experience to participate. MVHR will provide transportation from Yampa, pick up at South Routt Elementary School. Email us if you like to waitlist, details below.
Kids learn all about horses and what it means to care for them through service & grooming. We learn to lead & halter a horse, work on confidence, teamwork & perseverance. The day includes horse crafts and games.
This camp is the perfect introduction to horses and a fun day spent outside at the ranch. Horse Heroes Day Camp is for ages 6 and up. Our camps are focused on ground work and being around the horses, this is not a horseback riding camp, and campers will not be riding horses.
All SPRING BREAK day camps run from 9:45am to 2:30pm. To get to the ranch in time we pick up in Yampa at 9am and we drop the kids back off at 3:15pm. We meet at South Routt Elementary School, 448 Main St. Yampa, CO 80483. Look for the white van with MVHR logo. Marissa Martindale, our program coordinator will be your driver! For campers providing their own transportation, please plan to arrive at the Ranch by 9:45am, and pick up campers at the ranch no later then 2:30pm.
Kids should bring lunch, one snack, an extra set of clothes, sunscreen, a warm hat & gloves. We require campers to bring a jacket, wear closed toed boots or shoes and long pants, for spring camp please dress in layers as it will be colder in the morning and snow is possible.
Should you need to cancel please do so at least 7 days prior to the day of camp so that we can give the spot to someone else. If for any reason you need or want to switch your camp dates new spot requests are subject to availability. Should camps be cancelled for any reason by MVHR, full refunds will be provided.
