This morning I have Winter Break Camp on my mind—kids will be out of school in a week or less and they will be out here at the barn. Here at the LEC we looking at Winter Camp slightly different than we look at Summer Camp. First it is cooler outside! Which can actually be […]
Recently there have been a couple of posts on Instructor Discussion Groups about getting kids registered into your Summer Camps. I’ll admit I put up one such post, last year in May. I have found myself each and every year at this same time—worrying and fretting about possible camp registrations. Now I do a pretty […]
If you have been around me much—you quickly realize that I have a talent of talking about a subject and then mid-sentence simply jumping into a totally new subject. I have found this to not be the greatest of talents, as often I don’t finish one subject, and just briefly start on another subject. So […]
This time of the year I have to start thinking about summer camp programming. Although I’ve been thinking about Summer Camp, I was on a website last night that I’ve used several times for inspiration. And I actually found this FaceBook page and websites a while back when I was looking for new ideas for […]
My first reaction to the last day of camp is—Oh Great another hour of sleep! But almost immediately it turns to hysteria—for the past nine weeks with every Monday came the excitement of the daily camp deposit to the bank! Here at the LEC one of our largest revenue streams is our camp revenue, especially […]
While FaceBook stalking today I came across something very unique—at first I thought I had read it wrong—but no there it was. Wet ‘N Wild Horse Camps and one of the daily activities is to Ride Horses in the Sprinklers—it is difficult to make me go “what?”. I mean has anyone out there ever tried […]
Every instructor has been there—two of our best and favorite lesson ponies are off the lesson list for a couple of weeks—our little Morgan, Webster must’ve had a disagreement with one of his pasture buddies and he got the brunt of it. Webster’s been “off duty” while his neck heals up. And then our best […]
Thought I’d share another one of my favorite FaceBook “stalks”! Horse Sense Riding Academy in Ellijay, Georgia (no idea where that is, looks pretty warm though) is managed by Nikki and Dana Surrusco. Eventing is their main passion, but they do an amazing job of being creative with their ideas to draw their clients into […]
Last night I was putting some of my thoughts down on paper. I’ve gotten where I try to write down my ideas and thoughts in a notebook or journal, especially at the end of the day. I often worry that some great idea or inspiration will slip away from me. Usually there are some many […]
One of my New Year’s resolutions (basically the same one I have every year) is to get a jump on my organizational skills. At my recent holiday break camp. I went out to the Camp Room to find some glue. Just simple white glue. Now I know we have white Elmer’s glue—in fact we are […]
