Camp Sessions and Cost
Text Box: Camp GooseChase—2011 GooseChase sessions are for girls, ages 8-15, who simply love being with horses. Sessions are designed to promote confidence and competence in a non-competitive setting. Weather permitting, we will work with horses morning and afternoon, with a lunch break from 12:00-1:00. Additional activities vary from session to session, with opportunities for field trips, farm chores, crafts, cooking, and games. Campers should pack a lunch, snack, and drinks. Certified riding helmet and heeled boots required for all riders. Camp runs from 8:30-3:00 each day, except for Thursdays and the last Friday of each session. Thursday is our designated field trip day, and we like having the flexibility of a later return to the farm on that day. On the second Thursday of each session, we’ll have a cookout and sleepover, with camp ending at noon on the final Friday.  Limited enrollment; we like to keep our sessions small. Session 1:  July 11—July 22 Two weeks: 8:30-3:00* Session 2:  July 25—August 5 Two weeks: 8:30-3:00* Cost:  $700 per two-week session (* Please note the different hours for the last Thursday and Friday of each session.) Camp cost includes a t-shirt and meals at the end of each session: dinner on the second Thursday and breakfast on the final Friday. We reserve the right to modify activities due to the weather, including heat, humidity, and/or summer storms.  GooseChase Field Trip PHOTOS Barn Buddies Not being offered in 2011 due to family travel plans .

Enjoy several days of trail riding through the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains outside Syria, VA. We'll be at Graves Mountain Lodge where we'll enjoy staying in one of their rustic but comfortable cabins. Come prepared to ride! Minimum age is 12, and all participants must be confident riders capable of providing basic horse care and tacking up independently. Proficiency test required for applicants who do not ride regularly at Old Meadows Farm.  In addition to riding each day and exploring the nearby mountains (weather permitting), we'll have access to all the amenities available at Graves Mountain Lodge. We'll swim in the swimming hole, play in the pool, sit around the campfire outside our cabin, and enjoy a final night's dinner at the lodge.
