What should I wear
when riding a horse? |
|
You will need long pants
and boots or closed toe shoes.
Shamineau will provide the rest of the
equipment needed. |
|
Is the Ranch open all
year long? |
|
Yes it is. The Shamineau Ranch offers
its own horse camps during the summer, as
well as trail rides all year long. It
also rents its facilities to guest groups
year round. |
|
Does Shamineau Ranch
take donations of horses, tack, feed, etc.? |
|
Yes, we do take
tax-deductible donations of horses, tack,
feed, etc. Please call 1-800-305-8118
or
email camp if you’re interested in
making a donation. |
|
Where is the Shamineau
Ranch? |
|
The Shamineau Ranch is located
in Central Minnesota, near Motley, two hours north of
the Twin Cities, 25 minutes west of Brainerd,
and 2 hours east of Fargo, ND.
Shamineau Ranch, Shamineau Adventures and
Camp Shamineau share 215 acres of wooded
property on a mile of lake Shamineau
frontage. |
|
Can my child bring
his/her own horse? |
|
For safety reasons, we do
not allow campers to bring their own horses.
|
|
My child has had 3
years of dressage lessons. Will s/he still
be challenged in your program? |
|
Yes. We are able to accommodate varying
riding abilities through our talented
instructors and variety of horses. |
|
My child is interested
in attending your horse camp, but his/her
friend isn’t. Can they still share a cabin
if they come during the same week? |
|
Due to the scheduling
differences between the ranch and main
camps, it isn’t feasible to have a non-horse
camper share a cabin with the horse campers.
Occasionally, a housing situation will
require that we put non-horse campers in
with the horse campers, but this is the
exception rather than the rule.
Instead, your child will get the opportunity
to make new friends in a cabin full of
horse-lovers. |
|
My child just
completed 5th grade and has taken riding
lessons for the last 2 years. Can s/he
attend Ranch Hand camp instead of Cowpoke
camp? |
|
No. Each week, we
specifically gear our speaker, devotions,
and activities to the age of the attending
campers. Horse experience doesn’t
affect which camp they attend. |
