Camp-out at Rooted Stone Acres!

July 27th, 28th, 29th

Calling all Riding 4 Life clients! We have a very special opportunity for you coming up in July if we get enough interest. You're invited to pitch your tent or park your family RV near the arena at Rooted Stone for a few days and enjoy spending time with some of our community, our herd, and the land that holds us all so beautifully.

AI helped add a tent to an actual picture taken at Rooted Stone Acres of a group of wildies slowly passed through and checked us out.

This event is contingent on support from participants and their families' with respect to camping gear, supervision, meals, etc. and will enable us to affordably include the whole family in some of the fun. Please let Leann know ASAP if you're interested in this camp-out so we can bring the details together.

Please note! This is highly tentative with many details still pending.

Some proposed activities may include:

• Daily horse care tasks and chores

• A few riding lessons and mounted activities for the rider(s) in your family

• Test rides and some hands on practice for siblings, partners, or parents who do not ride with us!

• Stick horse making and other crafts

• Campfire sing along

• Land teachings and stories

Things to know as we plan this:

• We are roughing it at this site with no electricity, and a porta potty.

• We do have potable water on site thanks to the tank on the back of Leann's truck

• Leann and Chris will have their RV on site along with a propane stove and BBQ that can be shared

• We also have a propane fire ring as we expect there to be a campfire ban by this time in the summer.

• While the cell service is unreliable, we do have starlink internet access and a solar panel to keep it running during the day for families who need to maintain some measure of connectivity.

Cost to participate will be approximately $400 per rider with no added charge for added family or siblings assuming you don't have a reality TV show sized family.

This also assumes the following:

• You are bringing your own gear and are self sufficient for all your needs to enjoy a camping trip as if you were headed out on your own to a non-serviced camping spot.

• You are also taking care of your own meals and daily needs outside of the activities listed above.

• A pot luck approach to planning meals may be possible if we can arrange all the needed connections however.

If you're thinking of attending these dates, please let Leann (leann@riding4life.ca) know ASAP and if some are able to help with logistics and organization on this one then there's a good chance we might be able to make this happen this year!
