From the Camp Director:
Housekeeping Information:
Day campers: You will receive a confirmation letter once we receive your registration and deposit. We have a liability form for you to fill out and mail back or bring with.
Overnight campers: A packet with medical forms and packing lists will be sent once we receive your registration and deposit (note: this deposit in non refundable). During overnight camp we are happy to accept emails to the campers which we can print and handout at mail time. Email susan@toadmountain.com. Please leave all electronic devices at home. If campers have cell phones, we will collect and give back at the end of camp. Campers will not be allowed to use cell phones or other electronic media. They MAY bring a camera though! We suggest an inexpensive one such as a box camera in case it is lost or damaged. Please don't bring any candy or snacks from home. Let us know if you have any specific dietary restrictions.
Facilities
Our facilities include a 80x200 indoor arena, 100x300 outdoor arena, 60 foot indoor and outdoor round pens, 700 acres with approximately 20 miles of trails around Toad Mountain, and 4,000 feet of shoreline on Big Toad lake.
Toad Mountain Ranch began hosting equestrian based residential riding camps in the summer of 2004. Since then camps have been kept small to offer maximum attention and instruction! We offer quality mounts and most of our horses are in their teens. We do not lease our horses from another party. We deal with our horses on a daily basis throughout the year. Our instructors are experts in their area and enjoy working with youth.
Camp Toad Philosophy and Mission Statement
The health, happiness, and safety to the well being of our campers and staff is our primary goal at Camp Toad and Toad Mountain Ranch and Resort, Inc.
As we enjoy the beauty of the outdoors, our shared spirit nurtures the seed within where we will sprout and grow as individuals who can appreciate the differences in each other and the similarities between us. Through the camp experience, we will learn to care for the environment and have a positive approach to team building and problem solving in a non competitive atmosphere.
Each child's unique abilities and talents are nurtured at Camp Toad. Through the relationship with horses, campers become capable of problem solving and understanding themselves and the greater world around them. Campers will also experience personal growth and confidence. Our skilled instructors are college age individuals who excel in various levels of interest. All receive pre camp training, first aid training, and are capable of handling any situation that arises through the standards we have set forth.
By learning and living together, and making new friends, it is hoped that campers and staff will create memories to last a lifetime!
